More details about the updates can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/bulletins/201008.aspx

As usual updates can be started from the start menu in Windows or by going to http://update.microsoft.com

More flash updates

A new Adobe Flash Player update came out last Thursday. This update moves Flash Player to version 10.3.181.34. Adobe isn't really clear on what is in this update. They say it fixes Security Bulletin APSB11-18 but that was supposed to be fixed by the last update. It's possible that the last update didn't completely fix the issue so to be safe you should install this ASAP. As usual, you should check that you have the latest version and upgrade if you don't.

Yet Another Adobe Flash Player Update

Another out-of-band (not in the normal release cycle) security update has been released for Adobe's Flash Player. This update moves it to version 10.3.181.26. You should check that you have the latest version and upgrade if you don't.

This one is being exploited to download and install malicious software to peoples computers already so update as soon as you can.

Microsoft Update Tuesday and Adobe Reader Patches

Today is update Tuesday. Microsoft has release several updates that you should install as soon as possible. Just open Windows/Microsoft update from the start menu to get started.

Adobe also released a patch for their Adobe Reader X that updates it to 10.1.0. The Adobe updater should prompt you to install the update from the system tray by the clock or you can download and install the update directly (17.2 MB).

Update for Java(TM) Runtime

There is a new update for the Java(TM) 6 Runtime: 1.6.0 update 26

See which version of java you have installed (if any).

You can update Java by going to Control Panel -> Java -> Update -> Check now or download the latest version directly.
