there has been a new virus found and it affects adobe flash player and the virus does some pretty nasty stuff including but not limited to:
-Screamers/Scary videos
-Revolting/gross videos
-encrypting your entire HDD

my message to you is try to avoid opening flash content in general, and please PLEASE spread the word out. Other creatures fans, family, friends. Anyone who has a computer. Please be careful guys, we need to keep our creatures safe! Here's the source the Adobe threat scale yet another source

That sounds pretty awful, but I don't think it's nothing new. I hate viruses/spyware with a passion, but they're pretty easy to defeat; once I got a virus saying my computer was being held for ransom, and I had to give them money. Know what I did? I just switched it off! [nlaugh]

I'm having trouble updating my flash, it tries to download mcafee and there's no ticks for it in both the installer and the update page, but it's there on the install page.

Not sure exactly what you mean, but don't get the McAfee version, untick that before you click the download button. Otherwise there's no way to prevent it being installed along with the update.

Guess I'd better download that update instead of ignoring it. :P
