News The other patch Tuesday - Microsoft updates

Microsoft have released some updates via Windows Updates that improve the reliability of Windows with various applications and devices such as Canon printers. Run Windows Update via control panel to see them.

Of course, not all the updates will be relevent to your system, but it can't hurt having them all anyway right?

There was also a newer version of the Malicious Software Removal tool which was already released this month on the scheduled patch tuesday (the second of the month)

Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2492386)
Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2506928)
Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2515325)
Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2522422)
Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB982018)

Not all the links above are currently live but I am sure they will be in due course.

So that's what was going on. Thanks explaining what was going on. Every time I shut down or booted up the updating would hold me up. Annoying. I was afraid there had been some security issues.
