The only thing they added was the HellRTS signatures.

I believe the first two were already there prior to 10.6.4. I don't know what the big deal about adding these is. If this is all you're using to scan for malware on a Mac, you're not providing the level of scanning required on every federal system. I don't see this as being all that security significant. It's a nice start and if these were the only malware Mac users had to worry about, I'd make a big deal about it but I don't see this as being that big of an omission. We always have the malware providers, oops, the malware eradicators, to tell us about them.
