+Malwarebytes (thanks Stephen, great call to post this) about a new vector of attack:
Clever pages pretending to be your favorite browser (of at least three at the moment) show up suddenly on your screen, that tell you an emergency update is needed, and you'd better do it right now.
If you try to click away from these pages, you get pop-ups telling you "later is a bad idea, do it now!" that are very, very difficult to get around.
"Oh, no, you would never fall for it. Except..."
We're all in a hurry while we're - well, while we're doing everything. And when a message gets in our face often times we're just like, 'yeah, OK, but hurry up fuccrissakes and git'er'done quick, all right?'
In this case, not a good idea, really, so please, take a moment right now and read the post from the nice folks at Malwarebytes, which is here.
If you have not already done so, I absolutely recommend purchasing Malwarebytes for all of your PCs in the house. Sure, you have Symantec or similar, but .... do this anyway, because you won't be sorry if and when you are exposed to something awful in your travels. Sure, it's free to download after you need it, but do you really want to be looking to download something when you're trying to remove something you already downloaded?
Hmmmm. I thought not.
