Microsoft released new patches for critical Windows and Microsoft Visio security vulnerabilities on June 12, 2007.

* All Windows PCs must be patched. *

To patch your PC:

Click on the update icon on the taskbar (it is a globe or yellow shield with an exclamation point, depending on which version of Windows you're running).

If you do not have such an icon, run Windows Update by going to the site:http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

After patching, you must reboot your PC in order for the patches to take effect.

If you are using Microsoft Visio, see: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS07-030.mspx
