Back a couple of years ago when I first found this forum I read and read other's problems and learned a bit. Then suddenly one day I had problems and turned to Cyber Tech Help for assistance and my problems were solved. Since then I have kept a number of programs on my computer....run them frequently and keep them updated. During this time its nearly as if spyware, virus and other nasties were never developed. My point is simply this follow the advise you get here...be deligent in using what is suggested and the internet will be a much nicer place. Its only when I see a friend's computer who doesn't use any "protection" that I remember there were such things as pop ups. Thank you Cyber Tech Help - Webster 
Flaws revealed in Adobe Version Cue

Both flaws allow local attackers to gain root privileges to a machine through Version Cue, the file-version manager in Adobe's Creative Suite software, according to Michael Sutton, director of iDefense Labs at iDefense.
One flaw is a "library loading vulnerability" that enables potential hackers to load a custom library by executing a method from the command line of VCNative, a root application in Version Cue, said Rich Johnson, a senior security engineer with iDefense Labs. In this way, someone could take full control of a system and gain root privileges, thus enabling them to introduce malicious code.
The other way someone could gain root privileges through Version Cue is to exploit the log file created when the root application VCNative begins running, he said. The log file is always called the same thing, and if a person "knows what it's called they could put a file in there that would allow redirection of that file to a location of choice, then can override special system files with this," Johnson said.
Adobe already has issued a patch for both vulnerabilities, which can be downloaded at http://www.adobe.com/support/security/main.html#vcuemac, he said.
