    I found that Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit will also stop the exploit in IE and Firefox and I run the free version on my systems including W10.

    Adobe needs to fix this really soon.

    It didn't say anything about Firefox being effected. Am I correct in assuming you have visit a rigged or compromised website to get infected and you have to use internet explorer? That what the article implies.

  14. Agreed.
    People need to stop including Flash in their website code.

    Flash programs (e.g. games) should be run in a standalone VM (i.e. no network connections).

    Java is another abomination.
    I haven't run Java outside of a VM, for at least 5 years.

    When my friend and I first read about Java (many years ago) we both thought that it was "a disaster waiting to happen".
