Adobe released a critical update today for Flash Player.  

The basic gist is that most of the platforms are exposed to a crash and a remote attacker can get potential control of your system.  Details elude to memory corruption as the cause, which are patched with this update.
 

Another, highlight is that this update comes with an auto-update feature for the Flash player.  The link below seems to only cite this feature for Window's users.  I've not had a chance to hit my OS X systems with this update, so I can not confirm whether it reaches the Mac.   Post a comment and tell us this new whistle.

Keep it coming!

Enter comment here... a fake TeamViewer page, and that page led to a different type of malware. This week's infection involved a downloaded JavaScript (.js) file that led to Microsoft Installer packages (.msi files) containing other script that used free or open source programs.
distribute malware. Even if the URL listed on the ad shows a legitimate website, subsequent ad traffic can easily lead to a fake page. Different types of malware are distributed in this manner. I've seen IcedID (Bokbot), Gozi/ISFB, and various information stealers distributed through fake software websites that were provided through Google ad traffic. I submitted malicious files from this example to VirusTotal and found a low rate of detection, with some files not showing as malware at all. Additionally, domains associated with this infection frequently change. That might make it hard to detect.
