It’s time for everyone to update their Windows Operating System this month.  Actually this seems like a good month for Microsoft.  Usually we get barraged by a myriad of Windows Updates every month.  There are only 2 security updates this month for Windows.

2 Security Updates For Windows
One issue involving the GDI+ system that could allow an attacker to take control of your computer and another one that could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to compromise your Windows PC.

2 Reliability Updates
The reliability updates resolve performance and responsiveness issues with some known incompatible programs.

This month’s Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool and an update to the Windows Mail Junk Email Filter is included as always.

If you own Microsoft Office 2007 there are 2 security vulnerability updates that you will need to apply via the Windows Update.  Both updates fix some remote code exploits for the Office System.
