    Patch and Protect. This from PCWorld:

    Microsoft this week released ten software security patches for its products, including seven that it deemed critical and that could allow remote attackers to take control of systems running the company's software.

    The Redmond, Washington, software maker advised customers to download and install critical patches for a wide range of products as soon as possible, including its Windows operating system, Exchange e-mail server, and Microsoft Office productivity software.

    To see whether your system needs updates, have your PC scanned; afterward, you'll receive customized recommendations from Microsoft.

    The company published the software updates, labeled MS04-029 through MS04-038, on its Web site.

    Hmm... more holes? What a surprise. Yesterday was 'Patch Tuesday' btw.

    I just checked my SUS Server, 25 new updates and 6 updated. September was certainly a busy month for Microsoft.
