As we battle to remove viruses from laptops and computers everyday, we have noticed a marked change in the tactics being used to infect computers. 

 

The main change has been a distinct change towards using a technique called “Exploit Ware”. Expolitware detects and attacks vulnerabilities in your out of date applications.
 

The two most common applications that are found on nearly every computer are Java and Flash and it is these applications that the current crop of malware, Trojans and virus are attacking.
 

So, it is vital to update your applications on a regular basis and we would recommend that you check for updates for Java and Flash every week.
