Re: Eight Patches Next Week

Saw the notice for this earlier Nigel but thanks for the post, I've got mine set to automatic and have Office 2007 so will get the lot in the background.
I'll just have to tell the XP to install though, that's got Office 2003 so will probably get most of them as well.

Re: Eight Patches Next Week

What do they fix?

The usual "A security issue has been identified that could allow an unauthenticated attacker to compromise you system"?

Re: Eight Patches Next Week

Hi,

I think part of Microsoft's policy on this type of thing is, as they are trying to patch vulnerabilities before the malware writers can use them, it's not the best idea to inform everyone, including the malware writers, of the nature of the potential problem before they issue the patch
