Adobe Flash Player Download Warning: Malware Disguised

This is a warning to all those that are getting flash player downloads; Adobe fake flash player downloads could leave you with serious consequences, especially leaving you with malicious payloads.

You need to know that Malware is being disguised as a Flash Player download, Adobe responding to malware versions of “flash player” downloads that are being posted on community sites like twitter for example, have posted the following caveat on their site.

There has been coverage from the security community of a nasty worm on many popular social networking sites that is using social engineering lures to get you the user to install a piece of malware, and according to reports the worm posts comments on these such sites that includes links to a fake site. If this link is clicked and followed, users will be told that they need to update their Flash Player. The installer, posted on a malicious site, of course installs malware instead of Flash Player.

WARNING: DO NOT download Flash Player from any other site unless it is adobe.com, and we mean any piece of software such as Quicktime, Windows Media Player, Reader etc. Twitter’s security people are working on a fix right now.

Adobe’s Google and Yahoo agreement: Search engines will see Adobe Flash-created content

This is breaking news and very good news at that, Adobe has new software that will make flash-created content more noticeable by search engines like Yahoo and Google. At the moment it seems that search engines like Google and Yahoo and other Web-search tools cannot easily recognize pages that have Flash-created images.

Many times we have searched the web to buy something and we end up seeing graphics built with Adobe Systems’ Flash software, have fun finding the exact product with a search engine, though. Because it seems Google and other Web-search tools can’t. Well Adobe has announced that they are taking steps to solve those problems, Adobe are providing Google and Yahoo with software that will makes these pages inside flash-powered sites show up much higher in search results, it will infuse those results with a much better result leading you to what you are really looking for much more easier and of course with more relevant details.

Adobe’s moves include providing Flash software that is more attractive to Web site developers and of course to persuade more consumers to visit its customers’ sites, Adobe’s Google and Yahoo agreement will be very competitive and is surely a smack in the face for Microsoft, who indeed makes web software that competes with Adobe’s. Just so you know flash sites often contain ads, sell products, promotes movies and much more, so the most important thing that should happen for the creators is for sites to show up where consumers are clicking.

So with Adobe providing Google and Yahoo with this all new software code and a very special version of its flash player, one that can expose the what-used-to-be hidden flash-content now seems a thing of the past.

Adobe’s Photoshop CS4 update: 64-bit only for windows not Mac

Photoshop CS4 without a doubt has to be adobe’s flagship piece of software and as we know will be a full 64-bit application once the Creative Suite 4 is released. However this 64-bit version will only be available on Windows, Mac users will have to wait just a little longer before they can benefit from the full 64-bit features.

The problem is that Apple discontinued its Carbon 64-bit program; as a result a number of companies including Adobe were left with no avenue to be able to produce its program for a 64-bit code base. To be able to port software into 64-bit on a Mac you have to use Cocoa, and that as many might know is not a simple task.
