As promised, Apple on Tuesday released a security update to combat MacDefender, a type of fake antivirus malware that had targeted the Mac OS X platform over the last few weeks. On Wednesday, however, hackers apparently managed to figure out an end-run around its solution.

Apple’s fix updates its malware definition list daily, and it searches for and removes known variants of the MacDefender malware.

However, a new variant that the security update can’t detect was released just hours after Apple issued its fix, according to security firm Intego.

Is Apple doing enough to protect users? Should it do more? Will it issue another security update?

It didn’t take long for the iPhone 4 antenna controversy to spiral out of control. First, users began uploading YouTube videos displaying signal attenuation on their devices. Next, the tech blogs chimed in, with some pundits going so far as to suggest that Apple might need to issue a product recall.

Looking to stem the ever increasing wave of iPhone 4 criticism, Apple put together a press conference on July 16 where Steve Jobs announced that Apple would be giving away free cases to all iPhone owners. Moreover, Apple, in an attempt to dispel theories that the iPhone 4 wasn’t thoroughly tested, put up a new section on its website which explains the rigorous testing Apple puts the iPhone through before it hits the market.
