Keep your Applications Updated or else....

1) If you aren't on Winamp 5.13 yet, get it now. Remember the extremely critical system access exploit that was released for it. Well the exploit posted for this vuln is not being used to push spyware. It didn't take very long.

2) Get your Firefox updates. Firefox 1.5.0.1 was released recently. It fixes several highly ciritical security issues. Improvements include - better support for OS X, several memory leaks are fixed and several other security enhancements.

3) Recently, some vulnerabilities have been reported in Thunderbird, which could result in compromise of the user's system. Recommended workaround is to disable JavaScript.

4) Disabling JavaScript is also the only workaround for the vulnerabilities reported in the Mozilla suite as well.
