Hey folks!

Microsoft released an out of cycle update yesterday to remove an SSL certificate provider from the trusted authority list. Another SSL certificate provider was hacked, and this effectively prevents Windows from still trusting their certificates. This is a security update. A reboot is not required.

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.

Driver Updates

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

iOS 5.0.1 is a security and reliability update, and also corrects the battery life issue introduced in 5.0. Use iTunes to install this update — if you can actually get it to download (a lot of people are having problems). If not, you might want to download it manually here:
