Whereas it is not the second Tuesday of the month and Microsoft is releasing patches tomorrow (Tuesday, July 28th), it can only mean that there is a serious security issue at stake.
The most important of the two patches concerns Internet Explorer. The primary vulnerability in Internet Explorer, however, relates to Visual Studio, which is the subject of the second patch. Although most subscribers to my newsletter probably do not use Visual Studio, this is no reason to not apply the patch(es) within the next week. Microsoft's patch for Internet Explorer does address other 'critical' vulnerabilities as well.

Patch Tuesday Tomorrow
July's Patch Tuesday is tomorrow. Within the next couple of weeks be sure to update your Microsoft software.
Tomorrow's patches will address three critical issues and three other important ones.
The critical patches all related to Windows operating systems, while a couple of the important patches will address issues with Office 2007.
When you perform your updates this is a good time to do some maintenance as well. Be sure to defrag your hard drive(s), make sure your anti-virus and anti-spyware applications are up-to-date and performing regular scans (you may want to do a manual scan just to be sure).
