In what will be quite the fix, Microsoft plans to roll out 12 security updates next week in order to patch up 57 vulnerabilities scattered across a variety of their OS's, and covering bugs in Internet Explorer, Windows, Office, and Exchange Server.

"Two of the five critical updates will address vulnerabilities in Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) and Windows Vista. Among the important updates, five will affect Windows 7, four Windows 8, and three each for XP SP3 and Windows RT. The latter is the limited-functionality edition designed for tablets, and the one the powers Microsoft's own Surface RT tablet."

Check out the full report here. And always make sure to keep your systems up-to-date and have great internet security protecting your machines!
