Severe Flash Trojan Circulating

[Kellzz]

Some pages over at Curse.com, home of numerous popular MMO fansites, recently were infected with an Adobe Flash-based Trojan aimed at stealing your gaming information. Users of the Curse Client apparently remain unaffected, but visitors to the sites are encouraged to update flash immediately and scan their systems for a keylogger identifying itself as one of the following:

    a.exe
    b.exe
    c.exe
    6to4ex.dll

If you aren't running one of the latest virus scanners, head on over to your favorite online site. The threat is real and flagged by Adobe as critical.

I can confirm this, this flash vulnerability was released by Adobe last Friday as a critical and recommended everyone update flash to the latest version.

My personal recommendation, always keep your system updated (windows updaes and other apps). I use PSI (Secunia's Personal Software Inspector) a free download that will scan your system for out of date, out of life cycle 3rd party applications that you need to patch as well as windows, on all my machines at the house to keep me aware of what's out of date.
