Microsoft's August Patch Tuesday Fixes 48 Security Issues

Microsoft issued its August 2017 Patch Tuesday security bulletin. For August you will see that the company adressed 48 security issues spread over six main product categories. The products that received security updates are Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Microsoft Windows, Microsoft SharePoint, Adobe Flash Player, and Microsoft SQL Server. 

Of all the security issues patched this month, three became public before they were patched CVE-2017-8620, CVE-2017-8627, and CVE-2017-8633. Fortunately, Microsoft didn't detect any of them being used in live attacks.

These updates will reach you automatically through windows update.

No! Thankfully, they won't!

Like any smart PC user, I don't have ANYTHING automatic on my PC, especially not Windoze Updates :D

Nothing could be more true! NEVER let ANYTHING "automatic" as regards to the so-called window$ updates (OS itself or/and any of it's apps/modules like IE/edge etc.).
