Critical Windows Patches/Updates Coming June13

[Wiz Feinberg]

Get ready for next Tuesday afternoon, Patch Day for Windows users.

Microsoft will be releasing:

Nine Microsoft Security Bulletins affecting Microsoft Windows. The highest Maximum Severity rating for these is Critical. These updates will be detectable using the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer and
the Enterprise Scan Tool. Some of these updates will require a restart.

Note that, as discussed in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-013, with
the release of one of these bulletins, support for the compatibility
patch discussed in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 917425 will
cease.

This means that all users who apply this security update will receive
the ActiveX update discussed in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article
912945 regardless of whether or not they have applied the
compatibility patch discussed in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article
917425.

You can read all the details about the new updates on my "Wizcrafts Computer Services Blog," on this entry.

There is also a newer Post on my Blog concerning an unpatchable vulnerability in Windows 98 and M.E. computers, that contains very important information for people still using those OS's on computers that connect to the Internet.
