8 New Critical Updates From Microsoft
Monday June 19, 2006
For the month of June, Microsoft unleashed a storm of patches and updates. There are 8 Critical, 3 Important and 1 Moderate Security Bulletin this month. If you use Microsoft Windows, odds are fair that you use at least one, if not all, of the applications and services affected by the Critical security bulletins. For complete details and links to the necessary patches and updates, see June 2006 Microsoft Security Bulletins.

Regarding the lastest Microsoft service “patches” aren’t these automatically downloaded now anytime you log onto the Internet? Or do you need to download these yourself, e.g., the one for IE 6.0 and then install them by running the .exe?
That all depends on whether you have Automatic Updates turned on or not. In general, home users should take advantage of the Automatic Updates feature, but those who do not will still need to manually retrieve these updates or at least manually visit the Windows Update site to scan their computer to find which patches apply.
