Hi
I cannot be the only one who noticed that the last update (12/6)
has a bug that blocks PDF downloads from yahoo mail.

Was on the phone with support for an hr.

Anyone have any idea on timeline for a fix?

How exactly does it get blocked? Any messages?

There is a current zero day exploit using PDF files right now. It seems to be a targeted attack against defense contractors at the moment, but who knows.

Perhaps Avast has picked up on this in some way???

Isn’t this another one of the issues with yahoo downloads and avast blocking them, no matter what? There are already several topics posted, from last week and from yesterday (and today) too.

I don’t know if the PDF issue is a different one though.
