The hackers won today..

Adobe announces a zero-day exploit for Adobe Flash, Reader and Acrobat today.  The exploit is almost the same exploit that was patched a month ago.  It is back.  Also, Facebook has announced a virus on the site that is spreading.  Your only real danger is if you are a Twilight movie fan.  It is based in the game Breaking Dawn that followers have been passing around.  If given an invite to play the game, pass on it.  Adobe will be releasing a fix soon, we hope. 

This is in addition to the 64 fixes Microsoft will be issuing tomorrow with Windows Update.  Keep your systems updated.  Finally, a new ransomware program is circulating.  If you get it you will get the screen shown here:

This ransomware is particularly nasty.  It locks you out of windows completely (normal and safe mode).  You can only unlock it by calling a phone number to activate your copy of Windows again.  The number claims to be toll-free and to Microsoft, of course, neither are true.  You would be calling an expensive International number.  Your only recourse is to do a clean install of your system.
