Windows Critical Patches – Just Do It!

November 13, 2014

It’s that time again when Microsoft released its patch Tuesday. This grouping of patches includes several critical ones. Top of the list is one that is being called the “Heartbleed” patch. The patch is for the Windows secure channel, which is similar to SSL encryption. The four critical patches include:

  1. Secure Channel
  2. Windows OLE
  3. Internet Explorer
  4. Windows XML Core Services

There were 20 updates when I applied the patches. A reboot is required too. Make sure you get the updates installed as soon as possible. There are a lot of bad guys out there hoping to compromise your computer.
