Hi, Folks!

It’s Patch Tuesday! Moderate load today. The typical computer should see roughly 300mb in updates. Let’s get started.

Microsoft released 15 updates to address vulnerabilities in Windows, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Office and MSRT. This includes security updates. A reboot is required.
http://update.microsoft.com/

Apple released updates for iOS (8.2), OS X, iTunes, AppleTV, printer drivers and X-Code. This includes security updates. Use Apple Software Update to install these updates. A reboot is required.

Adobe AIR 16.0.0.273 is a security update.
Win: https://12pd.com/click?air
Mac: https://12pd.com/click?airmac
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:

Hi, Folks!

It’s Patch Tuesday!

Today is the day that Microsoft officially ends all support for Windows XP. If your hardware is capable, consider upgrading to Windows 7. If not, get a new computer. In either case, make sure you get these last updates for XP that were released today.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled updates.

Microsoft released 5 updates for Windows, Office, Internet Explorer, root certificates and MSRT. This includes security updates. A reboot is required. Multiple reboots are required for Windows 8.1.
http://update.microsoft.com/

Apple released updates for Safari, Apple Remote Desktop, printer drivers and Digital Camera RAW compatibility. This includes security updates. Use Apple Software Update to install these updates. A reboot is required. If you still have Safari installed under Windows, remove it now. It hasn’t been updated in over a year and is no longer supported.

Hi, Folks!

It’s Patch Tuesday! Today is a pretty average Patch Tuesday – Microsoft, Apple, Adobe and Mozilla have a variety of updates, many of them security-related. But the real outlier today is that there are security updates for RoboForm, GoodSync and FileZilla – and Greenshot demonstrates again why I absolutely love that program. Don’t delay, update today!

Microsoft released ten updates today correcting issues in Internet Explorer, Windows, Microsoft Office, Lync, Windows Essentials, .NET and updating the engine for MSRT. Updates weigh in at under 75mb. This includes security updates. A reboot is required. If you’re using XP, make sure you install the “optional” security certificate update, too!

Apple released iMovie 9.0.9, Thunderbolt Firmware 1.2, printer drivers and iOS 6.1.4. This includes security updates. Use the Apple Software Updater to get the most current versions.

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 anytime, 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:

Hi, Folks!

This is actually a pretty mild Patch Tuesday, all things considered, but the severity of the updates is above average. For example, while all the common security updates are here again (Flash, AIR, Shockwave, iOS, Windows, OS X, Firefox, Chrome and so on), I’m surprised to see that Picasa, Evernote, phpMyAdmin, Coldfusion and even EA’s Origin all include security updates as well. Don’t skip these updates — many of them enable drive-by downloads which are sure to be exploited in ads on the most popular sites soon (if not already).

Microsoft released 9 updates for Windows, Office, Internet Explorer, SharePoint, Groove, and Windows Defender. This includes security updates. A reboot is required.
http://update.microsoft.com/

Apple released updates to Apple TV, Safari, and OS X. This includes security updates. Use the Apple Software Updater to get the most current versions.

iOS 6.1.3 is a security update for iPad, iPhone, and iPod. Use iTunes to install it onto your device, or on the device use Settings, General, Software Update.

Adobe AIR 3.7.0.153 is a security update.
https://12pd.com/click?air

Adobe Flash Player 11.7.700.169 is a security update.
https://12pd.com/click?flash

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.
