There is an extremely important Microsoft Security Patch released yesterday that fixes the major Internet Explorer vulnerability mentioned in Tuesday’s tech blog post.
It is extremely important that you find a couple of hours in the next few days to run your Windows Updates – and continue to run them until no more updates are available (after the first set of updates are installed and the computer reboots, sometimes there are more updates waiting when you run Windows Updates again, especially if you haven’t run the updates in a long time.)
If it is going to be awhile until you can find time to run all these updates, and you know which version of Internet Explorer your computer is running (In Internet Explorer, go to Help–>About Internet Explorer, look for the version, either 6.0 or 7.0), you can directly download and install the patch for Internet Explorer and at least get the major hole patched for the time being:
As always, please contact the NEKLS Tech Staff with your questions.
