Microsoft Fixes Record 26 Security Holes

Microsoft today issued a record-breaking number of security updates, fixing at least 26 separate security holes in its Windows operating system and other products, including 16 vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office and Office components. By my count, this is the largest number of flaws Microsoft has fixed in one go outside of a Service Pack.

So, if you are bored just dying for something to do… load up Windows Update and get to it. Though all of the updates are important, this set is incredibly worthy of grabbing if you use Office. Some of the known exploits are taken care of here, so don’t hesitate.
