YES ANOTHER UPDATE FOR FLASH .... Do install this one unless you like to pickup trojans and viruses as the last version was hopeless and exploits were used to make flash drop nasties onto your pc.


Remember to use this link inside Firefox and I.E to get the correct version for each browser.

Flash Player 11.3.300.268 is available for both Firefox and I.E.

While you are updating your Flash player I advise updating Java too it is currently at Version 7 Update 5. I'm not even going to go into how insecure Java is too and what a mess they have made of that platform too ... Also update Adobe Reader that is showing many vulnerabilities too... Anyway Update and atleast the exploits some are using on web pages won't work.

Update Java from here :-

Like using twitter ? Well be safe and read this too.




Twitter suffers malware spam outbreak
Links promising photos of users lead to the Blackhole exploit kit

IDG News Service - A widespread spam attack linking to malware has broken out on Twitter, according to the security firm Sophos.

The malicious tweets often read "It's you on photo?" or "It's about you?" The tweets and URLs often include a user's Twitter handle. Many of the links Sophos discovered have a .RU domain name.

"The attack itself is very simple, relying on people's natural curiosity about anything they think mentions them. Including the target's Twitter username in the link is an added hook to reel people in," Richard Wang, head of Sophos' U.S. labs, said in a statement.

"We're aware of the issue and we're working to resolve it," a Twitter spokesman said via email.

The links in the spammed tweets lead to a Trojan that ultimately redirects users to Russian websites containing the Blackhole exploit kit, Sophos said.

The Blackhole exploit kit first emerged in 2010, and its use is widespread. The version of the kit being promoted on Twitter targets vulnerabilities in Adobe Reader and Shockwave Flash, according to Sophos.

Users can protect themselves by updating their anti-malware software, patching their operating system and making sure their browser and browser plugins are up-to-date, Wang said.
