Microsoft Patch Tuesday brings 14 critical patches

Yesterday's Patch Tuesday brought 19 fixes from the folks at Microsoft HQ, with 14 of them being deemed "critical." The patches plugged holes in Excel, Word, Office, Exchange, Internet Explorer and most importantly, the now infamous zero-day DNS bug. There's a high percentage of critical patches this month and with exploits already in the wild, you're going to want to make sure that you install the updates sooner rather than later.
