Yesterday Microsoft released security updates for what is being called an “unprecedented” number of security flaws in all of its windows operating systems. Over eight of the patches are deemed “critical updates” ? a designation for patches meant to address the highest security risks.
In Microsoft Internet Explorer click on the “Tools” menu option at the top and look for an item called “Windows Update” on the drop-down menu. Or point your Internet Explorer web browser at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com.
The files are over 3 Megabytes in total size so it might take quite a while over a dial-up modem connection. It could be even longer if it has been awhile since you ran Windows Update. If you are family or friend and have trouble downloading all these updates, give me a call and I may be able to burn a CD of the updates for you.
