In a fairly hefty Patch Tuesday, Microsoft put out fixes for 34 different Windows vulnerabilities as described in their monthly bulletin found here. There are a total of 14 “critical” patches, 15 if you count this month’s Malicious Software Removal tool.

Many of these vulnerabilities can be exploited by opening specially crafted files, but some are as easy to exploit as using the preview pane in Outlook. It’s better to be safe than sorry, so take a few minutes and run Windows Update when you get a chance.
