Security researchers have discovered malicious adverts on the UK version of dating site Match.com. Malwarebytes, which found the cyber-threat, said that anyone caught by the ads could fall victim to ransomware.
Malicious ads were appearing on pages of the site via an ad network that passes content to Match.com and other places, redirecting those who click on the adverts through a series of links to a site embedded with code that checks if a visitor is running outdated versions of commonly-used software.
Bugs in the versions of Flash, Java, Adobe Reader and Silverlight used in browsers were all being exploited by the malicious code. Once compromised, the machine could be hit by one of several different attacks. The servers themselves have not been breached.

I think that would be a very good idea, every PC should ship with.

But then most people would not use it anyway.
