MS-DEFCON 3: Lots of caveats, but it’s time to get patched

Posted on February 5th, 2018 at 11:19 woody Comment on the AskWoody Lounge

The January 2018 patches are now history. Thank heavens.

I hesitate to say it, but it’s time to take proper precautions, and get the January patches installed.

Just make sure you don’t do anything stupid, OK?
