Important Microsoft update on 12/17/08…

Normally I don't post items as specific and technical as this, but this one is important.  Microsoft is going to supply a VERY important update for Internet Explorer tomorrow.  This update is to patch an actively used exploit in Internet Explorer that could allow remote access to your computer.  This exploit is being compounded with another exploit being applied to web servers via the backend services used to provide content on the web page.  With these two exploits in the wild, normal computer users are able to get infected when visiting typical mainstream websites – even with up to date anti-virus and anti-spam software.

The patch is supposed be released around 1pm PST on Wednesday, so please check your computer tomorrow night for any updates and apply them immediately.
