Earlier today Microsoft released its latest round of security updates as part of its monthly patching schedule. The update includes security bulletins for various versions of the Windows operating system, Internet Explorer, Office, .NET Framework, SQL Server and more.
Nine of the 16 bulletins are rated by Microsoft as "critical", their most severe rating, because of their potential to allow remote code execution in an unpatched state.
Keeping software up to date is one simple and important step in keeping your system secure and running well - especially when it comes to your operating system, antivirus software, and browser. Plug-ins like Adobe's Flash and Reader are also good to keep an eye on, as they receive their own security updates with reasonable regularity.
Simply open Windows Update for the latest round of security updates for your system.
