Windows updates

Windows Users

Last Tuesday was "Patch Tuesday." All Microsoft Windows users need to up date your computer and Office suite. 

Microsoft issued 3 critical patches and 4 important ones. All three critical patches addressed remote code execution vulnerabilities - if exploited, a hacker would be able to take complete control of a system running with administrative privileges, whether that be viewing and deleting data, or installing new malicious or unwanted programs.


Also, for those users of Office 2007 Service Pack 1 was released as well.

Please be sure that your Windows system is being updated. If you're not sure you can always run the update utility manually to check.
