MS-DEFCON 2: Lock your machines down

With June’s Black Tuesday crop of patches imminent, now’s the time to make sure all of your computers are set to “Notify but don’t download” updates. Instructions are in any of my books, or click Start | Control Panel | Security Center and take it from there.

There’s  a big crop of patches coming. I suggest you sit back and let the pioneers get the arrows in their backs.

We’re at MS-DEFCON 2: Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don’t do it.
