09/02/2005 08:49 - (SA)
Seattle - Microsoft released eight security updates rated "critical" for computers running the company's ubiquitous Windows operating systems on Tuesday, urging users to download and install them as soon as possible.
"The "critical" threat level is only given in response to vulnerabilities that would allow an outsider to gain control of another computer.
The vulnerabilities affect all computers running Windows and exploit known problems in Internet Explorer and Windows Media player, as well as other flaws.
The batch of updates was the second largest released by Microsoft since it began issuing regular security updates two years ago. The updates are available at the website windowsupdate.microsoft.com.
