Update Tuesday

It was update Tuesday yesterday. Microsoft released several patches that fix 31 security issues in Windows. These should be installed as soon as possible.

Adobe also released an update to their Flash Player plugin last week that fixes a critical security issue that was being used to install malware on computers. They also released an update to their Shockwave player that resolves some other security issues.

If you are unsure if you have these plugins installed now would be a good time to check your browser plugins and make sure they are up-to-date. Mozilla has a nice plugin checker.
