Topic: Microsoft issues monthly patches

[Clive]

Surfers are warned to move quickly to install a number of security updates issued by Microsoft this week.

Nineteen vulnerabilities in Microsoft's operating systems and other software are fixed by the latest batch of updates, which are released on the second Tuesday of each month.

Among the 'Patch Tuesday' fixes are several patches for Windows XP.

If you have Automatic Updates installed, the updates will be downloaded and installed without requiring any intervention but otherwise you should visit the Windows Update website as soon as possible

Deep joy.

Judging on how many updates have been issued for XP, it must now be nothing like the original system as written. Must be more like a patchwork quilt!

And the stitches are still too far apart... 

[Simon]

I still haven't had mine!   

[Rik]

You can have some of mine if it helps.

[Simon]

I'll pass, thanks.

I downloaded manually on both computers and had no problems.

I still haven't had mine!   

I didnt get mine at first-I got the icon saying updates are downloading and then it disappeared. I then got them down manually.
