Microsoft Patch Day

Microsoft Security Bulletin Advance Notification for February 2010

Microsoft has announced that tomorrow they will be releasing several patches to fix two dozen bugs and vulnerabilities in their Windows and Office software. If you are running XP you will have five critical OS updates, if you are running Vista or Windows 7 you will only have three.

If you want to get the patches as quickly as possible, I'd recommend running Windows Update or Microsoft Update first thing Tuesday morning. If you want to wait and install them overnight, make sure that your auto-update is turned on and leave your computer on overnight to patch it.
