Microsoft today said it will deliver its largest-ever number of security updates on Tuesday to fix flaws in every version of Windows, as well as Internet Explorer (IE), Office, SQL Server, important developer tools and the enterprise-grade Forefront Security client software.

Thank you quietman7 for the information. I just checked and there is nothing for me yet. Would you just down load all of these updates until they are tested.So far in my short computer life I have had very little problems with security updates from M/S but this is a big one.
