Updates 2019-07-09

Posted on July 9, 2019 by Shawn K. Hall

Hi, Folks!

Today is Patch Tuesday for July 2019 and it’s one of the smallest we’ve seen in a while.

The typical computer should see roughly 1.3 GB in updates today. Let’s get started.

Microsoft released updates for Windows, .NET, Edge, Internet Explorer, Flash, and MSRT (~2 GB). This includes security updates. A reboot is required.

Apple released updates for AirPort Base Station Firmware Update 7.8.1 (802.11n). This is a security update. Use Apple Software Update to install the most current versions.

Google Chrome OS 75.0.3770.102 is a security update. Use Menu, Help, About to install the most current version. A reboot is required.

Adobe Flash Player 32.0.0.223 is a security update.

Win: https://12pd.com/click?flashie
Mac: https://12pd.com/click?flashmac

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.

The now-current release of Windows 10 (1903) will cause your computer to feel unusually slow until it is installed. This is a side-effect of the Windows 10 upgrade cycle, which pushes out 3-6 GB through Windows update to get you to the latest Windows 10 release every 6 months. If you don’t let it finish and you’re on a slow connection, it will kill your Internet performance forever. If you don’t have the bandwidth to download the bits, I’m happy to provide loaner USB drives to our local clients, or, if you prefer to have me mail it to you please contact me for information.

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 or use, reducing the attack surface.

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:

Updates 2019-04-09

Posted on April 9, 2019 by Shawn K. Hall

Hi, Folks!

Today is Patch Tuesday for April 2019. Windows 10 v1903 is just around the corner. Edge users will start getting it over the next few days, with the majority of Home users getting it near the end of the month. You can delay it by installing v1809 if you haven’t done so yet, which will grant you a 3 month reprieve. Today is also the last day of updates released for any Windows 10 version prior to v1803. If you’re running v1507-v1709 (and not running a long-term servicing build) then you should upgrade to v1809 ASAP.

The typical computer should see roughly 1.2 GB in updates today. Let’s get started.

Microsoft released updates for Windows, .NET, Edge, Internet Explorer, Flash, POSReady, and MSRT (~850 MB). This includes security updates. A reboot is required.

Apple released updates for macOS Mojave 10.14.4, Security Update 2019-002 High Sierra, Security Update 2019-002 Sierra, iOS 12.2, tvOS 12.2, Safari 12.1, iTunes 12.9.4, iCloud for Windows 7.11, Xcode 10.2, and watchOS 5.2. This includes security updates. Use Apple Software Update to install the most current versions.

iOS 12.2 is a security update. Use Settings, General, Software Update to install the most current update.

watchOS 5.2 is a security update. Use the Watch app on your iPhone to install the most current version.

If you don’t let it finish and you’re on a slow connection, it will kill your Internet performance forever.

Updates 2019-03-12

Posted on March 12, 2019 by Shawn K. Hall

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Folks!

Today is Patch Tuesday for March 2019, which means that the next build of Windows (v1903) is just around the corner. You can delay it by installing v1809 if you haven’t done so yet, which will grant you a 3 month reprieve. Among other features and fixes, v1903 will add automatic boot repair after failed updates. This should resolve the #1 issue plaguing the Windows Update platform: not knowing whether your computer will boot after installing updates. Even so, don’t be the guinea pig. Postpone v1903 for a couple months to let people that don’t know any better be the victims of whatever flaws v1903 inevitably brings.

The typical computer should see roughly 1 GB in updates today. Let’s get started.

Microsoft released updates for Windows, .NET, Edge, Internet Explorer, Flash, POSReady, and MSRT (~600 MB). This includes security updates. A reboot is required.

Adobe Flash Player 32.0.0.156 is a security update.
Win: https://12pd.com/click?flash
Win: https://12pd.com/click?flashie
Mac: https://12pd.com/click?flashmac

Google Chrome OS 72.0.3626.122 is a security update. Use Menu, Help, About to install the most current version. A reboot is required.

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

The now-current release of Windows 10 (1809) will cause your computer to feel unusually slow until it is installed and v1903 will be coming soon. This is a side-effect of the Windows 10 upgrade cycle, which pushes out 3-6gb through Windows update to get you to the latest Windows 10 release every 6 months. If you don’t let it finish and you’re on a slow connection, it will kill your Internet performance forever. If you don’t have the bandwidth to download the bits, I’m happy to provide loaner USB drives to our local clients, or, if you prefer to have me mail it to you please contact me for information.

Updates 2019-02-12

Posted on February 12, 2019 by Shawn K. Hall

Happy Valentine’s Day, Folks!

Show her how much you care with a subscription to SaferPC!
https://saferpc.info/updates/

Today is Patch Tuesday and it’s a big one. Alongside every major vendor updates, nearly all mobile platforms have major updates over the last month to address security issues with WiFi and a lot of hardware has hit, or is nearing, end-of-life (EOL).

This month Nvidia drops support for the entire Fermi line of GPUs including everything from the GeForce, GT and GTX models 4xx up to 8xx. If your video card falls in line with these models you should consider replacing the card or the device. While it will continue to operate it can no longer be secured.

Windows 7 is nearing EOL. It will be supported for less than a year from this posting. If you’re still using Windows 7 you need to start actively looking for alternatives. Windows 10 is a seamless upgrade for most, but switching to Linux is also a viable option for others.

The last couple weeks has seen Firefox 65 severely stumble as a result of Avast’s poorly designed MITM “security feature,” Apple’s FaceTime being abused to listen in to call recipients, whether they answer or not, and Facebook paying children to install an “anything-but-private” VPN. While each of these is a horrible abuse of trust, their supporters quickly dismiss the severity of the issues because they’re large companies. That’s not the way it works. The larger the company, the more thought and process went into each and every decision. If anything, this demonstrates exactly why these companies should never be trusted.

The typical computer should see roughly 1.5 GB in updates today. Let’s get started.

Microsoft released updates for Windows, Flash, Edge, .NET, and MSRT (~500MB). This includes security updates. A reboot is required.

Apple released updates for iOS 12.1.4, macOS Mojave 10.14.3 Supplemental Update, Security Update 2019-001 High Sierra, Security Update 2019-001 Sierra, Shortcuts 2.1.3 for iOS, Safari 12.0.3, watchOS 5.1.3, tvOS 12.1.2, iTunes 12.8.2 for Mac, Pro Video Formats 2.1, iCloud for Windows 7.10, and iTunes 12.9.3 for Windows. This includes security updates. Use Apple Software Update to install these updates. A reboot is required.

iOS 12.1.4 is a security update. Use Settings, General, Software Update to install the most current update.

watchOS 5.1.3 is a security update. Use the Watch app on your iPhone to install the most current version.

tvOS 12.1.2 is a security update. Use System, Software Update to install the most current version.

Adobe Flash Player 32.0.0.142 is a security update.
Win: https://12pd.com/click?flash
Win: https://12pd.com/click?flashie
Mac: https://12pd.com/click?flashmac

Google Chrome OS 72.0.3626.97 is a security update. Use Menu, Help, About to install the most current version. A reboot is required.

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

The now-current release of Windows 10 (1809) will cause your computer to feel unusually slow until it is installed. This is a side-effect of the Windows 10 upgrade cycle, which pushes out 3-6 GB through Windows update to get you to the latest Windows 10 release every 6 months.

If you don’t have the bandwidth to download the bits, I’m happy to provide loaner USB drives to our local clients, or, if you prefer to have me mail it to you please contact me for information. Windows 10 v1903 will be available within the next 6 weeks, and if you don’t have 1809 by then, it will be forced on you.

Updates 2019-01-08

Posted on January 8, 2019 by Shawn K. Hall

Welcome to 2019, Folks! I’ve never been so happy to have a year behind me. 2019 is looking good even if it starts with a huge number of updates.

Today is Patch Tuesday and it’s a big one. Every major vendor has their regular updates, and it looks like every minor vendor took the holiday break to work on updates for their software, too.

The typical computer should see roughly 3 GB in updates today. Let’s get started.

Microsoft released updates for Windows, Edge, Internet Explorer, .NET, Flash, and MSRT (~2 GB). This includes security updates. A reboot is required.

iOS 12.1.2 is a security update. Use Settings, General, Software Update to install the most current update.

Adobe AIR 32.0.0.89 is a security update.

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.
