Trog Savior Registered: 07/17/02 Posts: 10955 Loc: Ivory tower	Despite the lust that some have for widgets (coughPetecough), you need to be careful. Apparently there is an exploit through Safari that can have them downloaded and installed without the user's permission.<br><br>I haven't tried it myself. It also probably requires that you have your download prefs in Safari set to "open safe files after downloading", which I never use anyway.<br><br>
