NewsFLASH - Your PC may be vulnerable

It has come to our attention that there's an Adobe Flash player vulnerability in the wild that may affect your PC.

Simply by visiting a naughty website, the unsuspecting web visitor will be attacked with a piece of code that redirects you to an evil .SWF file that can then execute nasty code on their PC.

Adobe has blogged about the issue, but hasn't issued any releases, or patches to take care of the problem as of yet. Security firm Symantec says that 20,000 web pages may be affected by this style of attack.

Since there's no real way around getting hit with this one, you can either disable your flash player altogether, or get the No-Script add-on for your Firefox browser.

Here is the add-on: However be aware it will prevent a lot of pages from displaying. Not sure but I think there is a place to enter the URL of the sites you want to allow.
