We&#8217;re moving to MS-DEFCON 2: Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Microsoft just fixed the really bad February patch. MS10-015 / KB 977165, which I wrote about two weeks ago, had a nasty habit of clobbering Windows XP machines. According to a Microsoft Security Response Center blog, MS10-015 is now offered &#8220;with new logic that prevents the security update from being installed on systems if certain [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fascinating.
Last week I wrote about Microsoft&#8217;s security patch MS10-015 causing Blue Screens of Death on some machines: if you install MS10-015/KB 977165, or it gets installed for you, your machine may BSOD on reboot. Every reboot.
Marco Giuliani on the Prevx site has this explanation:
TDL3 rootkit looks incompatible with MS10-015 update. This is the cause of [...]]]></description>

Microsoft confirms that &#8220;after installing the February security updates a limited number of users are experiencing issues restarting their computers&#8221;
SANS Internet Storm Center identifies the problem as a Blue Screen.
I&#8217;m hearing rumors that there&#8217;s much more to the story. Stay tuned. And for heaven&#8217;s sake, don&#8217;t install the February Black Tuesday patches, OK?

		<description><![CDATA[And what a crop they are&#8230;
As expected, Microsoft has just released 13 Security Bulletins which plug 26 separately identified security holes in Windows and Office. The list is mind-numbing.
According to SANS Internet Storm Center, only one of the Security Bulletins has a known exploit. That Bulletin, MS10-015, covers a 17-year-old security hole in Windows that [...]]]></description>

Microsoft just announced that it has 13 &#8211; count &#8216;em, a baker&#8217;s dozen &#8211; 13 Security Bulletins coming up on Tuesday.
They affect both Windows and Office.
Get yourself patched up right now, folks. Then make sure Automatic Updates is turned off, please. The PC you save may be your own&#8230;

		<description><![CDATA[Microsoft had two Security Bulletins in MarchJanuary, with a plethora of patches.
MS10-011 / KB 972270 is relatively innocuous &#8211; a real yawner if you&#8217;re using anything other than Windows 2000 SP 4.
MS10-002 / KB 978207, on the other hand, consists of a massive rollup of Internet Explorer patches. As you may recall, it was issued [...]]]></description>
