On tuesday we saw Microsoft release several patches to their Operating Systems, and Adobe has released a patch to address a critical vulnerability in its Acrobat Reader program.
With these critical updates needing to be applied, it might be a good time to check and make sure that all your programs are up to date. On a windows machine Windows Update or Microsoft Update will do the trick, and if you used the default settings on your installation of Adobe Reader, it should automatically update as well. If you're on a Mac, you can run the software update from the Apple menu and pull down the new Safari version.
Remember, it's always a good idea to set your computer to auto-update and leave it on overnight every Tuesday... this ensures that you get updates as they come out.
