Issue

It shows up in the ‘start’ menu as “Azure Arc Setup”.
It creates a folder in c:\windows called ‘AzureArcSetup’.
It adds a taskbar icon down in the lower right corner.

This bonus feature doesn’t break anything, just adds a few things that you likely didn’t…

Before applying Meltdown or Specter patches by Microsoft, make sure to read this. https://buff.ly/2uM98k

Patch Tuesday drops the mandatory antivirus requirement after all

In the immediate aftermath of the Spectre and Meltdown attacks, Microsoft created an unusual stipulation for Windows patches: systems would only receive the fixes if they had antivirus software installed and if that antivirus software created a special entry in the registry to indicate that it’s compatible with the Windows fixes.

This was due to the particularly invasive nature of the Meltdown fix: Microsoft found that certain antivirus products manipulated Windows’ kernel memory in unsupported ways that would crash systems with the Meltdown fix applied. The registry entry was a way for antivirus software to positively affirm that it was compatible with the Meltdown fix; if that entry was absent, Windows assumed that incompatible antivirus software was installed and hence did not apply the security fix.

This put systems without any antivirus software at all in a strange position: they too lack the registry entries, so they’d be passed over for fixes, even though they don’t, in fact, have any incompatible antivirus software.

of the month, aka Patch Tuesday, when windows updates effectively hijacks my computer, gleefully hogging resources for shit like “KB99999999.3: prevents remote execution of blah-blah on a piece of software you never heard of, and even if you had, wouldn’t use in a thousand years.” 

Basically, I just turn the comp on and then leave the house for the day so I don’t have to listen to the fan whining at top speed for hours.

How bad is the SCHANNEL vulnerability (CVE-2014-6321) patched in MS14-066? https://isc.sans.edu/diary/How+bad+is+the+SCHANNEL+vulnerability+CVE-2014-6321+patched+in+MS14-066/18947 #PatchTuesday #Microsoft #Windows #Vulnerability – You need to patch this as quickly as you reasonably can.

The biggie this month is a “spare no versions” Internet Explorer update. From IE 6 on Windows XP to IE 10 on Windows 8…

Folks, if you’re still using Internet Explorer, this is not an update you want to ignore.

As well, probably this would be a really swell time to do some fall cleaning. Try uninstalling programs you don’t use anymore, and www.ccleaner.com to clean out the rest of the junk.
