A Critical Zero-Day Exploits hit Internet Explorer and Adobe Reader.
Adobe has already released a patch through its update system so please update your Adobe Reader.
Since there is no update/patch available for Internet Explorer, BitDefender gives several recommendations published on http://www.bitdefender.com/site/News/ and strongly advise everyone to follow them immediately:
"In order to stay safe, BitDefender recommends that you download, install and update a complete antimalware suite with antivirus, antispam, antiphishing and firewall protection and to exercise extreme caution when prompted to open files from unfamiliar locations. Users who are concerned they may have been exposed to these attacks can check for viruses on their computer for free with BitDefender's online scanner."
