Patch Tuesday Fixes A Dozen Office Flaws

[HardOCP News]

Patch Tuesday has come and gone, leaving a dozen squashed bugs and fixed flaws in its wake. The funny thing about this round of fixes is that they all applied to Microsoft Office. If you aren’t an Office user, there is no reason to update.

The fact that all the vulnerabilities found reside in Microsoft Office, said Eric Schultze, chief technology officer of Shavlik Technologies, supports the current belief that client-side vulnerabilities are more likely to bear fruit for hackers than the server side vulnerabilities.

I installed the updates as I was going to bed. I woke up this morning to Vista's recovery menu. Awesome.

Where is this option? I haven't seen it when I was looking through the Automatic Updates options.

You can choose whether to turn on/off Microsoft Office updates. You can also have it set to download and ask you whether you want to install them, and you can also choose to turn it off so you get the updates and download them at your discretion.
