Microsoft February 2012 Security Bulletin Release


Microsoft released nine (9) bulletins, of which four bulletins are identified as Critical with the remaining five as Important.

The bulletins address vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Developer Tools And Software.  Most updates will require a restart to complete the installation.

A number of people have a problem with .NET Framework updates.  As MS12-016 updates .NET Framework, it is recommended that this update by installed separately, followed by a shutdown/restart.
