苹果日前宣布了 Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.4 版本，这个300-640MB容量的更新已经可以在软件更新功能中下载到，苹果悄然在 Snow Leopard 更新中添加反恶意软件功能。

Mac玩家们发现苹果开始在 Mac OS X 中保护自己了，在系统不起眼的位置，系统在一次更新中添加了反恶意软件机制。

该机制被命名为XProtect.plist，内含一些病毒特征码专门用来对付Mac上的恶意软件，如”HellRTS”等著名产品，这些软件可以允许攻击者发送垃圾邮件、截屏、获取文档甚至控制整台电脑。目前 Mac OS X 的反病毒机制还是以非常隐蔽的方法存在，苹果也没有对此发表评论。

新版系统更新Safari浏览器到版本5，并提供了大量系统改良，以下是更新列表：
