New PC patches issued!

Windows PC users should make sure they get the seven latest security patches from Microsoft, two of which the company says are critical, Washington Post security writer Brian Krebs reports. One critical flaw is in Internet Explorer, the other in Windows Media Player; Brian provides details. To get the patches, go to Windows Update or, to make patching automatic, go to this Microsoft page. Another option is to subscribe to Windows OneCare Live, free because still in beta. Microsoft will start charging $49.95/year in June, but if you sign up by April 30, it'll be $19.95 for at least the first year.
