    IE10 zero day exploit and mobile browser

    If you read it, it says the attack uses flash. There's no flash for windows phone. Nor would it be able to install any software because it probably just targets x86 windows, and the phone runs a different architecture.

    Zero worries on the phone, i'd say.

    Help with BSODS (Memory Management & IRQL Not Less or Equal) as well as Kernel-Power Event 41

    Related to the mbae64.sys protects you from zero-day exploits targeting browser and application vulnerabilities from malwarebytes.org

    I would remove it and use the built in defnder

    Really, the sooner Flash goes away the better. Web sites need to stop using this.

    I thoroughly agree with you. In fact, I don't have it installed on Win 10 Beta *Smile

    New Flash zero-day targets Windows, Mac users

    Since we are talking about Adobe, have they fixed the exploits in 16.0.0.296? What exploits are in 16.0.0.296? I must have forgot to add the appropriate Smiley. *Redface

    It's Adobe.
    The next version is going to be just like all of the previous versions (e.g. "Swiss Cheese"). I had two thoughts on your comment:

    1) you were confused about the exploits
    2) you were making a statement about Adobe.

    Seems #2 applies. It only took a few days for this version to fail. *Sad

    I thoroughly agree with you. In fact, I don't have it installed on Win 10 Beta *Smile If you have IE it is embedded in it so worry.

    I thoroughly agree with you. In fact, I don't have it installed on Win 10 Beta *Smile If you have IE it is embedded in it so worry. See if I am correct on these assumptions.

    I.E. embedded flash is not sandbox
    Opera flash may or may not be sandboxed, Opera is based on chromium.
    Chromium on Linux may or may not be sandboxed, if you installed pepper flash it is most likely sandboxed,.
    Google Chrome in windows & mac has flash sandboxed.

    I assume it is still save to watch flash if using Google or Chromium as long as it is sandboxed.

    Remove all Flash, Shockwave, and Java and your internet experience will be down to nil.

    So the best thing to do, if you're active on the internet, is to keep those things up to date.

    One good source for updates on those and other apps, is "File Hippo".
    I get their daily update newsletter, with updates on many of the programs I use every day.

    Cars kill people, but most of us still drive, every day, or at least often.
    It's pretty well impossible to remove everything from our lives that may have some negative aspect.

    Cheers Mates!

    I would bet not until HTML5 fully takes it's place and that's not going to happen all that soon, IMO.
