Technical Tidbits

Microsoft has revised two Security Bulletins dealing with DirectX and upgraded them to CRITICAL.

What is extremely important about this and the reason why I felt the need to issue an alert is that their bulletin MS07-064 was originally issued in December 2007!

For Microsoft to revise this now means that it IS CRITICAL!

Why is this important?

DirectX handles WAV and AVI files among others. We all watch YouTube videos and pass around videos in e-mails. That’s why this is important!

If you do not want to wait for the updates to come automatically, you should go to the Windows Update site at: http://www.update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/default.aspx
