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.
(not MAC) If you like, you can make those sites fail quicker. Assuming Windoze masheen: 1) Open notepad as Admin, 2) get into folder Windows->System32->drivers->etc, 3) open "hosts", any entry that has 127.0.0.1 means it will seek on YOUR drive first(fastest), and fail immediate. Works for any site, make certain you don't want to access it ever again. The trick is to banish the referred site(dig a little, look at bottom load addy)
