Mac Help

Who write the Mac Help scripts? Why do they never make any sense?

Cert Advisory recommends disabling the Quicktime plug-in for Safari (or any other browser). Why? Well see here.

I go to Safari Help. I type in plug-ins and I get this message: Seeing which plug-ins are available in Safari". I click on that link and I get this: "To see the plug-ins available to Safari, choose Installed Plug-ins from the Help menu."

Which Help menu? Safari or general help? It makes no difference of course because no other mention of plug-ins exists.

Does anyone know how I can disable the Quicktime plug-in for Safari?

Yes I read the article. I understand Cert advisory recommended installing Quicktime 7.1 and (as an option) also removing QT plug-in (f you are really paranoid).

However, my real beef is with Mac Help (an oxymoron if ever there was one).
 
If you choose Safari's Help Menu, there should be 'Installed Plugins" there. It will show you all the plugins. At least in v2.0.3.

Help has always been pretty much useless - it should
be renamed to SOL or WITH (wish in this hand...)

It looks like quicktime plugins reside in Library/Internet Plug-Ins

Thanks for this. Help is not quite good enough for me. May be I am being a bit harsh, but the Help docs seem to have been written as an after thought.
