Two weeks after launching the Safari web browser for Windows, Apple has once again fixed new holes in its web browser. Apple launched a new security update to fix the hole.

This comes in addition to the first security holes that were fixed by Apple two days after launching the web browser. Apple claims that Safari web browser was downloaded two million times in just two days after the launch. Version 3.02 of the previously Apple-only browser fixes some security issues that could potentially allow information to be gathered from users computers.

A timing issue meant that web pages could change the URL in the address bar without actually loading the page.

This could allow 'spoofing' of a legitimate site could lead users to believe their information was safe when it was really at high risk.

New versions of the Safari beta for both Windows and Mac OS x are available at Apple.
