675. Adobe Critical Update Malware Popup

Happy New Year...I have returned.

I have seen so many posts re an Adobe Critical Update Popup (NOT by real Adobe) and there solutions, but haven't seen any solutions easier than the one I employed. I did the router firmware upgrade and it worked to remove the malware popup TEMPORARILY. Maybe the router isn't the cause DIRECTLY! What started my popups happened a while back when my DNS's were having problems rendering magazine images for RBDigital (and Zinio). So, I switched to GOOGLE DNS's 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. That's when the Adobe-thing started (shortly after). Of course the firmware upgrade put my DNS's back to the AT&T ones, but I again switched to GOOGLE's for no reason at all other than it resolved my magazine image before. Well, when the Adobe popup reared up again, I changed just my DNS's back to AT&T away entirely from GOOGLE's and the Adobe malware popup ceased (Permanently it appears after no incidents in at least 6 months).

So, if you are using having the malware Adobe Critical Update popup problem, try changing your DNS's! Especially if you are using 8.8.8.8 and/or 8.8.4.4!
