Updates 2011-02-08

Hey folks!

Microsoft released a dozen updates today covering stability and security issues in Windows, Internet Explorer and MS Office. This includes security updates. A restart is required. Use Windows Update to obtain these updates.
  http://update.microsoft.com/

Adobe released critical security updates today for Adobe Reader and Acrobat. Use the Help, Check for Updates function. A restart is required. If you don’t have the current major build of Adobe Reader, get it from:
  http://get.adobe.com/reader

Apple released iMovie 9.0.2, iDVD 7.1.1, and MacBook Air, which consists of primarily stability and compatibility updates. These are not security updates. Use the Apple Updater to get the most current versions of all affected software.

Looking for an upgrade?

As many of you know, I do a lot of local PC and tech support. You wouldn’t believe how often people forget their passwords – or don’t remember how many accounts they have for a certain server. Over the last couple weeks I’ve seen people forgot they had both a personal and a business account at PayPal (and misplaced $2k in one of them), forgot their Gmail passwords (x3!), or suffered due to new and improved password requirements for one service or another that require more complex passwords than they’re used to using.

This is a trend that will only continue to get worse. Instead of relying on your mind to remember your many passwords (difficult!), using the same password everywhere (very insecure and doesn’t always work), and struggling to remember your account details…do yourself a favor and install RoboForm. It’s supported by most operating systems, including Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, Android and Linux – and in any scriptable browser (pretty much all current browsers). It encrypts and backs up your passwords, too, and helps you keep notes and other information about your accounts – like who your favorite musician was, your first pet and all that stuff so you don’t have to struggle to pay your phone bill just because you were having a “Cindi Lauper day” when you created the account. Hey, it happens to all of us.

Anyway…RoboForm is simply an amazing plugin that I don’t know how I would function without. We manage well over 200 websites with it, in addition to the many product and service websites we use as well. It’s secure, stable, and constantly improved. And you can share your accounts across as many devices as you want for only $10/year (called “RoboForm Everywhere”). Check it out:

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.

Driver Updates

If you’re using this hardware – these updates are for you.

nVidia 266.58 adds software support for 3DVision to capable hardware, DirectX compatibility details, additional hardware and performance updates. This is not a security update.

Codec Updates

One or more of these are likely to be of interest to everyone.

Updates 2010-11-02

Hey folks!

After you VOTE today, please take a look at the updates below.

Microsoft released MS Live 2011 through Windows Update this week, providing advanced functionality for blogging, chat and other service integration. This should be treated as a security update, but, during installation when it asks if you want to install “everything” or “only updates”, select “only updates” to avoid installation of software you will not use. Also released is an update to the Application Compatibility package, enabling better support for a number of legacy applications and games. Visit Windows Update now to get the updates:
  http://update.microsoft.com/

Apple released updates to iPhoto, ProKit, Aperture, MacBook Air firmware, Mac Pro firmware and released iLife 2011. Some of these are security updates. Use the Apple Updater to get the most current updates for your Mac.

  http://get.adobe.com/air
Adobe Shockwave 11.5.9.615 is another security update. Exploits are active and in the wild. Shockwave has become less and less necessary, UNLESS you play games online — and often, even then, you probably don’t need it. Please consider removing it (doing so WILL NOT affect any business software you require), and if you find you do require it, reinstall from the link below:

Updates 2010-10-12

Hey folks!

Microsoft has released more than a dozen updates today, correcting nearly 50 vulnerabilities in Windows, and MS Office. This includes security updates. Use Windows Update to get these updates as soon as possible:
  http://update.microsoft.com/

Apple released updates to MacBook Firmware that corrects issues related to new A/C adapters. Use the Apple Updater to get the most recent updates.

Adobe Reader 9.4 and Adobe Acrobat 9.4 were released. These are critical updates – if you have Acrobat or Adobe Reader installed (and chances are VERY good that you do), install this update immediately through Help, Check for Updates. For most users, a reboot is not required. If you have not yet updated to Adobe Reader 9, get version 9.4 here:
  http://get.adobe.com/reader/
If you’re using a version of Adobe Acrobat prior to 9.x, you would be well served to either upgrade to 9.x (there are discounted upgrades) or uninstall it completely. Since Acrobat does not guarantee updates to previous versions, this could cause problems for you if you are not running the most current version. Beware, however, that Acrobat 9 does require newer versions of MS Office than it’s predecessors, so you may be forced to upgrade to MS Office 2010 as well. If your only requirement is to export Word Documents “with links” to PDF, consider using OpenOffice.org instead, which you can obtain from the link below (and ditch Acrobat!). OpenOffice.org supports every popular document format, and can export to PDF preserving data, links and content:
  http://openoffice.org/

Adobe AIR 2.0.4 is a security update. Please update as soon as possible.
  https://12pd.com/click?air

Adobe also released updates for After Effects. When possible, use Help, Check for Updates, but if your application doesn’t offer that option, use the following URL to find and download each update for your software:
  http://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects/

Utility Updates

These are unlikely to be of interest to most people.
Goodsync & Goodsync2Go 8.3.1.0 adds better cleanup for temp files and time-shifting, improves performance, and better cleans the “_history_” (a big deal if you use it on a removable drive). This is not a security update.

Virtual Machine Updates

These are unlikely to be of interest to most people.

VirtualBox 3.2.8.64453 corrects a number of stability and reliability issues. This is not a security update.

That’s all for now folks. Keep it clean out there. 😉
