If you are running windows, make sure you have your auto-updates enabled in some form! This week, Microsoft released 49 patches and bug fixes, including 6 critical updates (critical updates are defined as those that allow hackers to execute malware on a Windows machine with little or no interaction needed by the user).

McAfee says the 49 vulnerabilities fixed this week is a new record, the old record was 34 updates set in October 2009 and then tied in June and August.
