Malwarebytes articles and dealing with malware

The purpose of this sticky is to try and give people a heads-up on the latest malware threats and tips for dealing with a problem should you encounter one.
I regularly read the Malwarebytes website blogs and I will be posting links to pertinent articles and warnings about impending malware threats.
