Recently, Microsoft announced a security vulnerability that affects Internet Explorer versions 6 through 11. This vulnerability allows an attacker to use Adobe Flash content on a website to install malicious code onto your computer.

As of 1:00pm today, Microsoft has issued a security update for this issue. This update will be available for all versions 6-11 of Internet Explorer, and will be provided for users of Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows XP, even though Microsoft no longer officially supports XP.

If your computer is connected to the WSU network and your system is setup to receive updates automatically from us, then this security fix will install automatically for you. If you are not connected to WSU’s update server, or if you are using your home computer, you should check your Windows Update setup to make sure it is downloading updates automatically.

If you would like assistance with Windows Update on your computer, feel free to contact the CaTS Help Desk at (937) 775-4827.
