22 Reasons to Patch Your Windows PC
Summary: Microsoft released 13 software updates to fix at least 22 security flaws in its Windows operating systems and other software in its August 2011 patch batch. Two flaws earned a critical rating, including a cumulative Internet Explorer patch plugging at least five holes and a DNS server flaw affecting Windows Server 2003 and 2008, while six of the nine important-rated flaws ranked high on Microsoft's exploitability index.
What's compelling: Six flaws sit high on Microsoft's exploitability index, meaning the company itself expects working attack code to appear, and the two critical bugs can be exploited with no user interaction at all.
