Critical Flash vulnerability

The recommended advise for the time being is to deactivate Flash. The recent update of Flash from just days ago, HAS NOT solved this issue, but another - also critical - security hole.

The exploit already gets used by criminals.

A script blocker may be the answer, or a manual deactivation of autorunning flash code. Chrome so far had not been hit due to an error in the malware code, but that got fixed by the attacker and Chrome now is coming under fire like all other browsers, too.

Be on your guard!
