Microsoft’s Patch Tuesday is next week. And it’s going to be VERY important<\/p>\n

Microsoft’s security patches are due to be released at 1:00pm EST on Tuesday 12th February. [Read more here from MS<\/a>\u00a0 ]<\/p>\n

The longer you take to update the security patches on your computer, the greater potential risk you could find yourself in!!<\/p>\n

In all, 57 separate security flaws are waiting to be fixed.<\/p>\n

According to Microsoft, every single version of Internet Explorer – from version 6 to version 10 – needs to be patched, as they are vulnerable to exploitation by drive-by attacks.<\/p>\n

That means that simply visiting a booby-trapped webpage could silently infect your computer with malware – hijacking your PC for a hacker’s own ends.<\/p>\n

According to an advisory from the software giant, five of the 12 security updates have been given Microsoft’s highest severity rating of “critical”.<\/p>\n

Also note that Adobe has again released critical security patches to it’s Flash Player software. [read here<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Even if you are not on a Windows\/Microsoft Operating System you should still make sure your Adobe Flash<\/a>, Adobe Shockwave<\/a>\u00a0 and Oracle’s Java software<\/a>\u00a0 and Browser Plug-ins are up to date!<\/p>\n

Be safe out there! MMm K.<\/p>\n
