It's Update Tuesday

We've got the usual line up this month:

Microsoft has several updates for Windows, Internet Explorer and Office that need installed.

Oracle also released update 6 for Java 7 (this didn't appear to include any security updates). Java version 6 is still at update 33.

Adobe released an update for Adobe Reader and Acrobat that fixes a few critical flaws.

The last few versions of Adobe Flash Player included a new auto update service that some systems were having issues with.
