I just uninstalled Adobe's Flash Player, as Adobe is recommending.
Over on Gab, people post links to obscure websites which quite often take you to a site to download Adobe Flash. Because I never download anything from 3rd parties, I close out the tab ASAP. I think we all know those types of sites are full of malware.
My question is how long is this going to continue? It feels like 50% of the articles over there are trying to infect my Mac.
I apologize that this is off topic, but I know there's some pretty sharp computer geeks here and I'd like to solve this annoyance.
Thanks in advance for any help.
You're using an adblocker? Ideally, ublock origin?
I'm not sure what I've got running. I just got this new Mac and am also running Windows on a Virtual Machine (VMWare). I had a guy I trust set it up for me and didn't get into the details.
Are you suggesting I run an adblocker? If so, which one? Do I need to run it on both Mac and Windows side?
I don't know why you'd subject yourself to the internet without an adblocker. uBlock Origin (not uBlock, which is unaffiliated) is as good as they come in easy browser extension form. As it's a browser extension, you'd need to use it in your browsers for Mac and Windows.
