Make sure Windows patches are up to date
A security vulnerability in Windows that was patched last month in an update that was not part of the regular monthly routine is coming under increasing attack. Be sure you have applied the patches. Computerworld reports:
Security researchers at Microsoft Corp. late yesterday warned of a significant increase in exploits of a Windows bug that the software vendor patched with an emergency fix last month, confirming earlier reports by Symantec Corp.
Microsoft again urged users to apply the MS08-067 patch if they have not already done so.
The new attacks, which Microsoft’s Malware Protection Center said began over the weekend but spiked during the past two days, use the same worm that Symantec first spotted last Friday.
