I'm going to act as thick as I actually am now and ask two questions:

If I only update software using the 'Software Update' utility, or very specifically from known software providers sites (e.g. UAD) am I likely to avoid the Trojan risk? Sounds like Trojans 'pop up' as an option to upgrade software when visiting dubious sites.

Quite often Apple give 'Security Updates' as part of the 'Software Update' utility. I was under the impression these worked to help reduce risk of infection?
