Title: Adobe issued an emergency update ((Adobe Flash Player))
Post by: admin on April 10, 2016, 12:35:17 PM

 
 
 Adobe issued an emergency update to its Adobe Flash Player software today after researchers discovered a vulnerability that was being exploited to deliver ransomware. Flash has over one billion users, so odds are you are affected by this update.
 
But Malwarebytes proactively protected its millions of customers from this attack, blocking the ransomware before it could encrypt files.
 
As a precaution, we suggest you update your Adobe Flash Player (Shockwave Flash Plugin). In addition, we urge you to consider installing both Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit Premium  (http://click.cbsmc.malwarebytes.org/?qs=d1f24ddfc806c34cc72f66513b0206299ce7103aa9d06333da28a6922d0f32de) and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium  (http://click.cbsmc.malwarebytes.org/?qs=d1f24ddfc806c34cb300eb247b822e33965abc472bb1a5994c3982db5aca1557)for the layered protection that stops attacks like this from infecting your computer. Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit Premium blocks the exploit attempt, while Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium stops the ransomware execution (if Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit Premium is not installed).
 
We'd hate to see your computer compromised. Here at Malwarebytes, we pledge to keep you protected and informed about the latest issues. Your peace of mind is our number one priority.
 
 Sincerely,
 The Malwarebytes Team
