Safe Download Version overview

Safe Download Version... Snow Leopard users that installed Apple's Security Update 2011-003 can get daily safe file updates Safari uses to help make sure malware doesn't find its way onto their Macs. Apple doesn't, however, offer an easy way to tell when your definitions list was last updated, or what list version number is installed, so The Mac Observer whipped up Safe Download Version to handle that task for you.

Safe Download Version is a Mac OS X application that shows which safe downloads definition list version is installed, along with the date and time the definition list was last updated on your computer. The brand new version 0.4.1 update added the ability to manually update to the latest version of Apple's definitions list.

We just updated the software to fix this bug. Sorry it took a little while to get this out. Hopefully MU will update this page soon, but until then you can get the latest version (v0.4.2) here

This is from Jeff Gamet of MacObserver.com, in response to my email to him about the problems several of us have been having with Safe Download Version: "We have Adam working on an update and should have a new version out next week, assuming there aren't any big surprises that crop up. We packed Adam up and shipped him off to a conference in New York this week, so he's kind of tied up until he gets back to the office. I'll make sure we run an article as soon as the new version is available."

I'm having the same problem as others. When I run Safe Download Version I get the error: Can't make "Oct" into type integer. Obviously I am running this in October. It has been running fine up until now. This is not a knock on the app but rather a bug and no way to contact the developer from the app.

I'm having the same problem as Apikoros. For the last few days when I try to use Safe Download, all I get is a message that says: Can't make "Oct" into type integer.
