Adobe Flash. It's everywhere. Not all of us want it, but many are forced into submission simply because it's weaseled its way into a myriad of applied and common uses. This just makes all the worse the news that a vulnerability in Adobe Flash, Reader, and Acrobat applications is allowing malcontents to exploit computers with these products installed.

Doesn’t help if one of your trusted sites gets compromised, or you get caught by the PDF-version of the exploit. The only solution, until a fix arrives, is to uninstall Flash.
And uninstall Adobe Reader and/or Acrobat if you have it. So it is not just Flash that is vulnerable according to the exploit.
