It’s Patch Tuesday once again, folks. Time to update your Windows and other Microsoft software. Today, the company has a bumper crop of fixes for you. There are up to 19 updates for your PC, fixing 34 or more flaws, including some critical fixes and zero-day vulnerabilities.
These are new weaknesses for which no repairs yet exist.
Hackers are busily exploiting at least one of these flaws, so you should update immediately. Attack code for other vulnerabilities is readily available on the Web. The patches also fix holes in Microsoft Office and Works.
It might be a good idea to make a Restore Point first, and even back up your important data, which you should be doing anyway, right? Then run Windows or Microsoft Update.
Note: If you do not want Internet Explorer 8 at this time, be sure to uncheck the box.
