Hi, Folks!

It’s Patch Tuesday. Lots of small security updates out today. The typical computer should see roughly 120mb in updates today. Let’s get started.

Microsoft released 13 updates to address vulnerabilities in Windows, Edge, Internet Explorer, and MS Office (~20mb). This includes security updates. A reboot is required.

Apple released updates for Apple TV 7.2.1. Use Apple Software Update to install these updates. A reboot is required.

Google released security updates for all supported versions of Android 4.4+. There will be a delay as most vendors integrate this patch into their build.

There’s a critical security update to the OpenSSL library that will gradually be incorporated into all software that relies on OpenSSL. You should also take the time to ensure that SSLv1 and SSLv2 are disabled on all your SSL-enabled software.

Don’t forget to check your mobile devices, too! Many updates will also apply to your tablet, phone, kindle or television – so check your device-appropriate App Store and install updates.

Important Notes

Everything above this section should be checked by everyone on every computer. Chances are good that close to every single computer you touch will be affected by those updates. This is not the case with the items below, though you should still check each line item below to see if it applies to software you have installed.

Please remember that while I list many different applications within these updates, most people should ONLY install updates for a program if they already have a previous version of that program installed.

It is essential to maintain all the applications you have installed on your computer, but often you can minimize the time investment and the potential for exploitation simply by uninstalling software you do not need.

Also note that using the applications own “check for updates” function, when available, will best preserve your current settings, and often avoid any crapware that might come with a fresh installer. Use this option if it’s available to you.

Finally, if you’re sick of doing this all yourself, let me! Call or email me any time, and we can set you up with subscription SaferPC updates which will be installed each month whenever necessary. Click, call or email for more details:
