Flash, ActiveX Still Under Attack

Anyone who has downloaded the latest version of Firefox should make sure to update all browser plugins.... The bad guys have written malware to automate attacks on security holes. The attacks exploit an Adobe Flash Player flaw from 2007 and a Microsoft ActiveX flaw from 2008. The flaws might be old, but they still impact the latest edition of Mozilla Firefox, version 3.5. It's especially critical since many PC users are downloading Firefox 3.5, F-Secure added.
