October Third Party Program Updates

Posted on November 1, 2015 at 09:40 CST by woody • Comment in the Forums

From Randy the Tech Professor:

This month there are patches for Adobe Flash, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader, Apple iTunes, Apple Safari, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Oracle Java. Even though these are common third party updates, there is a larger than normal number of vulnerabilities being fixed. Adobe Flash and Adobe Reader should be patched immediately.

I’m enjoying your Windows 10 for Dummies. Two or three times a week (with my clients) I’m running into the Windows 10 forced update conundrum. I have then turn off automatic updates and then manually uncheck Windows 10 when updates are offered.

Sounds like a good solution to me. I assume you’re also pointing them to GWX Control Panel, which takes care of all the settings and hidings necessary to keep the Win10 update at bay.

People seem to forget that they have until next July to get the free upgrade – and even then, I wouldn’t be surprised if Microsoft keeps the offer going.
