There will be only three security updates from Microsoft this month, the software giant has revealed. There is only one "critical" update, which patches Microsoft Office. The other two patches are non-critical, and the patches solve minor security flaws. Microsoft has also released a new update to Windows Defender. Microsoft also has no comment on when it plans to release further patches, but it is probably figuring out how to patch Office 2000 for the bug found earlier this week allowing a hacker access to an Office 2000 users computer. The Microsoft Security Bulletin can be viewed here. (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/advance.mspx)
