If you haven't hit the Windows Update button yet today, you should.
Microsoft today released four critical patches to plug security holes in
several versions of its Windows operating system, Internet Explorer Web browser
and other programs. Three of the patches aim to protect Windows users who
unwittingly expose their computers to attack by visiting Web pages infected with
malicious code, or look at similarly tainted e-mails with Outlook Express or
Windows Mail. A fourth patch prevents hackers from gaining remote access to PCs
by installing a specially crafted program. Two of these critical updates fix
holes in the company's newest operating system, Windows Vista, which Microsoft
has touted as the most secure ever.
