Adobe issues emergency Update for flash (Windows & MAC)

Adobe is recommending that users update their Flash Players immediately -- especially those who frequent Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. The company released an emergency security bulletin on Tuesday that addresses vulnerabilities in Flash, which could be exploited by hackers.

"This vulnerability could allow an attacker to remotely take control of the affected system," Adobe wrote in a blog post. "Adobe is aware of reports that an exploit for this vulnerability exists in the wild, and recommends users apply the updates referenced in the security bulletin."
Adobe assigned a Priority 1 rating to the vulnerabilities being exploited on Windows and Macintosh and advised users of both operating systems to install the update. That rating -- Adobe's highest threat level -- identifies "vulnerabilities being targeted, or which have a higher risk of being targeted, by exploit(s) in the wild." The bulletin also said that the Flash vulnerability faced by Linux users rated a Priority 3, which refers to "a product that has historically not been a target for attackers."
Adobe recommends users update to the latest versions:
Users of Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.43 and earlier versions for Windows and Macintosh should update to Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.44.
Users of Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.335 and earlier versions for Linux should update to Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.336.
Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.41 installed with Google Chrome will automatically be updated to the latest Google Chrome version, which will include Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.44 for Windows, Macintosh and Linux.
Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.38 installed with Internet Explorer 10 will automatically be updated to the latest Internet Explorer 10 version, which will include Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.44 for Windows 8.0.
Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.38 installed with Internet Explorer 11 will automatically be updated to the latest Internet Explorer 11 version, which will include Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.44 for Windows 8.1.

Download Window 8.1 preview for free from Microsoft 

Microsoft has announce a free update to your window 8 which will be launched later this year till its preview version has been officially released and it can be download from here

  

Windows 8 has been a rather polarizing release, but the consensus seems to be that Microsoft has brought through some favorable changes with Windows 8.1. The Start screen, for example, caused quite a bit of controversy with long-time users, offering a bunch of tiles as opposed to the usual PC menu to which users had become so accustomed to. The confusion caused translated into slower adoption rates by the masses, and although the numbers shifted were comparable to that of Windows 7, one would expect improvements, with more users jumping on such a big statement of change, rather than the plateau that was.

Still, the software maker seems to be coping pretty well, and Windows 8.1 is a testament to that. Moreover, the Windows Store appears to be gaining traction at just the right time. As the company’s CEO, Steve Ballmer, noted yesterday during the first day of the BUILD developer conference: ‘‘Within this month we’ll pass the 100,000 app mark in the Windows Store," and although the lack of apps therein has been pointed out as a major flaw in the Windows 8 platform, things now look to be taking shape.
