6 patches, 3 critical: Git 'em!

If your family computer is a Windows one, be sure to get the new patches Microsoft has just released (if you haven't turned on automatic updates here). Microsoft says three of them are critical to your PC's security. They include a patch bundle for the Internet Explorer browser, and you need it even if you've switched to Firefox, Washington Post security expert Brian Krebs points out. See my patch alert last month for links to further info.
