Microsoft to release a bunch of security patches coming Tuesday

Microsoft to release a bunch of security patches coming Tuesday
The second Tuesday of the month is coming and as usual, we would see Microsoft releasing their latest updates to the various applications from their stables. The company announced on Thursday that some crucial fixes are coming up this coming Tuesday and users are advised to download them to keep their online working environment safe.
The company would be releasing as many as 10 security bulletins to fix flaws in their applications as it covers a range of software releases. Some critical patches are for the Operating System Windows XP itself, which is the most used Operating System in the world today. However, they will not be releasing any high-priority updates that do not cover security issues through its Microsoft Update, Windows Update, Windows Server Update Services, or Software Update Services.
Some of the applications to be fixed by these updates are Windows Services for Unix, Microsoft Exchange, Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) server and Small Business Server (SBS). The company would also be webcasting details about these security vulnerabilities and their fixes on Wednesday. Also due is an update to their beta Anti-Spyware application.
