MS Plugs Windows Security Holes

by Tim Stevens on June 13, 2007 at 02:32 PM

MS Fixes Windows Security HolesFour critical fixes were released yesterday by Microsoft to address a series of serious security shortcomings in Windows XP, Internet Explorer and even its new hotness, Windows Vista. The software updates fix holes that could allow a malicious user to take control of your computer just by having you view one of their Web pages. The updates are freely available through Microsoft's Windows Update and we'd definitely advise you install them ASAP -- that is unless you like other people poking around your private data.

Oh, and for those who would hate on Microsoft for these constant updates, please note that Apple isn't doing much better with the Windows release of its Safari browser.
