Apply most patches – but avoid two

Posted on March 5, 2009 at 22:20 CST by woody • Comment in the Forums

To recap my recent recommendations…

I recommend that you install all currently available Windows and Office security patches, except these two:

The KB 960715 killbit patch, which seems to zap some programs, and
The Autorun patch, KB article 953252 for Vista and KB article 967715 for WinXP, 2000, and Server 2003.

Other than that, patch away.
