Microsoft release a super bundle of security patches for nine security flaws, including four that keep hackers from breaking into computers through web pages.
Microsoft gave four web browsing related patches most “critical” rating. The updates affect many versions of windows, server, office, including Windows XP and Windows Vista. The other two updates target holes in Excel spreadsheet program.
Although vista is supposed to be most secure Operating System ever (as microsoft claims), these patches fixes a hole in “gadgets”, small software applications that deliver simple syndication, or RSS feeds to desktop. The other important patches plug holes in Windows Media Player and in programs that let users run more than one “virtual” computer from inside a single hardware setup.
Windows users can visit Microsoft’s security Web site to get the updates, or configure their computers to automatically update each month.
