I don't really get what it means, but I guess disable flash?

This happens _all_ the time, especially with flash. But the difference seems to be that the payload has a more specific audience targeting game content.

This is why you keep flash up to date, because it's broken almost every single day with some new exploit to execute code on your system.

Also, don't use java browser plugins if you can, keep it up to date as well. Keep adobe pdf stuff up to date as well.

Don't click on malicious links (if you don't know what it is or don't know how to tell, don't do it or find someone who does).

etc. etc.
