Microsoft unleashed a suite of critical patches today for Windows XP and Office. Four for the former and two for the latter. They fix some potentially nasty security vulnerabilities. Probably ones that weren’t widely known about, but that everyone knows about now. So patch up people, and keep your system from becoming a zombie box.
If you are a non-IE user (like me), a great way to patch is to use WindizUpdate. Yeah, it sounds kinda hokey and the site almost makes it look like a bait for virii, but I’ve heard enough about the site to feel reasonably safe about using it (although, I accept no responsibility for anyone that chooses to use it). They have a small plugin you download and then you can use their site to download all the windows updates and install them automagically. This also allows you to ignore Microsoft WGA stuffs that borders on spyware.
