Microsoft Updates for December 2006

Make sure you patch your system with the latest security updates released from Microsoft. If you haven't done it already, setup up Windows update to automatically download and patch your system. This might not be possible on a production system, but your workstation, connected to the server network should by all means be patched asap. Don't forget that lap top you use to and from work. It is not uncommon that users bring their unprotected lap top's to their work site, unaware of the risk that they can bring any type of malicious code on the network, bypassing firewalls.
