Black Tuesday is here – batten down the hatches

Posted on February 13, 2013 at 06:58 CST by woody • Comment in the Forums

It’s that time again. Microsoft has released an amazing number of patches for this month’s Black Tuesday.

The usual advice applies: make sure Windows/Microsoft Automatic Update is turned off, and wait while we see the effects of all of the patches.

I’m moving us up to MS-DEFCON 2: Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don’t do it.
