  Security.ITHub.com - Internet Security
From a corporate risk management perspective, IT security is not just for keeping viruses, hackers and crooks at bay; it's also critical in order to stay compliant with regulations, avoid litigation and indictment, and prevent escalating insurance premiums.
Because the threat to computer security remains so strong, and security is essential for complying with regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, ensuring security and privacy will remain a top business priority.

  RFC 2828 (rfc2828) - Internet Security Glossary
For the term "security service", for example, the "O" definition deals narrowly with only communication services provided by layers in the OSI model and is inadequate for the full range of ISD usage; the "I" definition can be used in more situations and for more kinds of service.
In actual practice, however, entities outside a security perimeter that can receive output from the system but cannot provide input or otherwise directly interact with the system, might be treated as not having "access" and, therefore, be exempt from security policy requirements, such as the need for a security clearance.
Security services can be provided between a pair of communicating hosts, between a pair of communicating security gateways, or between a host and a gateway.

 US-CERT: Welcome to the Reading Room
Secure configuration guidelines for this service stress the need to ensure that the password file, archive tree, and ancillary software are separate from the rest of the operating system, and that the operating system cannot be reached from this staging area.
Internet security is important to both offensive and defensive information warfare because the Internet is a global and dependable resource on which many countries rely.
To have a secure foundation for the critical Internet applications of the future, severe weaknesses must be addressed: lack of encryption to preserve privacy, lack of cryptographic authentication to identify the source of information, and lack of cryptographic checksums to preserve the integrity of data (and the integrity of the packet routing information itself).

Shirey Informational [Page 4] RFC 2828 Internet Security Glossary May 2000 2.2 Recommended Terms with a Non-Internet Basis ("N") The paragraph marking "N" (as opposed to "O") indicates a definition that SHOULD be the first choice for the term, if the term is used at all in Internet documents.
Shirey Informational [Page 5] RFC 2828 Internet Security Glossary May 2000 In most of the cases where this Glossary provides a definition to supersede one from a non-Internet standard, the substitute is intended to subsume the meaning of the superseded "O" definition and not conflict with it.

Keep in mind that the shortcut to Internet Explorer has to be on Desktop so the PATH environmental variable gets properly defined (it will make Internet Explorer search current directory for the DLL file).
Apple already said that they don't consider this to be a security issue (which is partially correct), but since other browsers do this (at least Firefox and Internet Explorer), and it is good security practice, my humble opinion is that Apple should change this behavior.
