Microsoft have patched a critical weakness related to shortcut links. The August 2010 Security Update addresses some major security issues in several Windows programs. In addition to that, Internet Explorer 6 (for those still using it), gets patched for a critical issue.
Some Top Critical Updates are:
*MS10-056: Four flaws in Microsoft Office are resolved, including one that allows remote code execution when a user previews or opens a rich text format email that has been specially crafted.
* Ms10-052: This resolves vulnerability in the MPEG Layer-3 audio codecs by Microsoft, that allows remote code execution, only if a particular file were opened or if a Windows user received streaming content from a web site.
* MS10-055: The update fills a hole in an aspect of Windows Media Player that would allow for remote code execution, only if a computer receives content specially crafted for streaming, or opens a special media file.
MS10-060: This fixes two problems that both allow for remote code execution, both in Microsoft Silverlight, and in Microsoft's .net framework.
The August Security bulletin lists various other important vulnerabilities which need to be addressed.
Microsoft is claiming that none of these have been exploited and none have resulted in major damage up to this point. In order to be on the safe side, it is important to update your operating system using Windows Update. Alternately, download the security update at Microsoft's Download Center.

Re: Microsoft Windows August Security Update
Microsoft announced today that it plans to release an eye-popping and record-breaking 14 patches for this month's security update..Not defending Microsoft, but remember technology changes on a daily basis and there are thousands(possibly millions) of hackers, out there writing.

Re: Microsoft Windows August Security Update
Good to be reminded how important Windows updates are. It compensates the headache of continually having to postpone them when you're in the middle of something else and don't want to reboot I guess.

Re: Microsoft Windows August Security Update
Yes it certainly is very important to have proper security on your computer. My computer was full of viruses one time and I could not reach anything on it! This was a week before University deadlines, not good at all! So I recommend updating regularly!
