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:

There's no reason to install, update, or use Flash Player to access online content in 2020, save for very rare exceptions-and 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.
