| As most of you know, Apple has been proactively blocking the java and flash web plug-in vulnerabilities through a "safe downloads list". This setting on 10.7+ machines, is in System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Advanced -> Automatically update safe downloads list. Apple highly recommends that you keep this protective feature turned on. To stay up to date with these updates, I would recommend that you subscribe to the Apple Security Announcement mailing list.
