Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

Adobe Systems Inc (ADBE.O) warned on Monday that hackers are exploiting vulnerabilities in its Flash multimedia software platform in web browsers, and the company urged users to quickly patch their systems to prevent such attacks. Happy any day of the week
|
|
|
|
|
|
...and how is this is different from the last 17 years?
|
|
|
|

That's a bit harsh, it's not always Adobe Flash that has vulnerabilities found in it, it's often Adobe's Acrobat Reader too.
|
|
|
|
|
I only say that because it has earned that reputation. It's about as secure as IE6.
I know Reader has a ton of security holes in it too, earning it about the same reputation.
|
|

It might help if there was a patch you could apply for IE11 and Edge.
Oh well; disabling Flash works just as well.

Isn't there one?
Quote: Adobe said it had released a Flash security update to fix the problem, which affected Google’s Chrome and Microsoft’s Edge and Internet Explorer browsers as well as desktop versions.
For Edge, AFAIK it'd be pushed via windows update similar to how Chrome gets Flash.

It wasn't there when I checked this morning.
When I checked an hour ago, it started downloading FCU.
It's now been sat on "Downloading updates: 62%" for a good 20 minutes, with no network, disk or CPU activity.

The search giant is rolling out a new Chrome Cleanup tool for Google Chrome in Windows which will automatically scan your computer for potentially harmful software. It found that Edge virus right away and offered to delete it
|
|
|
|
|
Well, it can start by removing that chrome virus right away.
Seriously, I installed chrome because I wanted a web browser. If I wanted an anti-virus software I would have downloaded and installed one. Google should really stop overstepping it's boundaries like that.
|
|
|
|
|
Then how would they get permission to scan your files?

Even after clicking through to Google's original post it's not clear. Is this a full system AV packed into Chrome, or just a new version of Chrome's built in defenses against crapware being injected into it?

That's a very good question. I got the impression that it was the latter (just expanded with a few things from ESET), but I could easily be wrong.
Ah, it also seemed to expand the functionality of the Chrome Cleanup Tool[^]

Now this I would be fine with. I'm tired of having to protect my browser from crapware injection. Why does every installer for Open Source software want to install a browser extension? and why does java still try to do that too?

A year ago, if you’d asked me if I was going to build a custom setup to measure keyboard latency, I would have said that’s silly, and yet here I am, measuring keyboard latency with a logic analyzer. And here I thought it was just that my typing was getting faster

|
|
My latest keyboard was made by DEC in the 90s. 
|
|
|
|

And it could probably be used to concuss a moose, and still keep typing.
