@bob3160,

Or not use java at all.

@all
Internet Explorer was hit by most zero-days during all of 2013 when these zero-days were especially used on specific attacks against organizations and corporations.
This year we will see less Java attacks and more browser attacks according to FireEye, read: http://www2.fireeye.com/rs/fireye/images/fireeye-advanced-threat-report-2013.pdf

Linksys Worm "TheMoon" Summary: What we know so far
https://isc.sans.edu/diary/Linksys+Worm+%22TheMoon%22+Summary%3A+What+we+know+so+far/17633

Not just Linksys and Asus , but many other top selling brands are open to attack ....

  A separate study by security firm Tripwire has found that 80% of the 25 best-selling routers available on Amazon are vulnerable to compromise.

Security researcher Craig Young from Tripwire said exploits had been publicly discussed and published for more than one-third of these devices.

The past 12 months have seen a flurry of interest in routers by security researchers keen to find bugs and loopholes. One project detailing their findings now lists hundreds of exploits for routers from 36 separate manufacturers.

Watch out for this Netflix “tech support” scam
A new twist on an old scam

The avast third party support is terrible but does not stoop to that level.
The third party support does "use" the event viewer to scare users into thinking
there are issues which do not exist.

F-Secure is strongly opposing the hijacking of criminal bot-net C&C servers by the NSA, read: http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/00002684.html
link article author = Sean
His quote is a rather harsh remark on the institution:
Quote
The NSA: a morally and ethically bankrupt institution that makes others feel silly for bothering with due process.

P.S. Edit: NSA denies it ever was into such actions without the proper authorization.

It's nice to know that Symantec users are protected from this attack. :)
It would be much more important to know that avast! also protects you from this Phishing attempt...... ???
