If you are a Mac user, here's how to avoid the most common kind of malware

Mac users are getting hit with Shlayer, a malware that installs an Any Search bar on their computer, reports Lifehacker. It's easy to avoid Shlayer and most other Mac (and Windows) malware - never click on an Adobe Flash updater pop-up notification.

From Lifehacker:

Theres no reason to install, update, or use Flash Player to access online content in 2020, save for very rare exceptionsand no, none of those exceptions include watching illegal streams of sporting events or leaked movies. If you need to download Flash, get it directly from Adobe. Nowhere else.
