For Microsoft, everything has been rosy to date with the release and continued popularity of the Windows 7 Operating System. Like any previous Microsoft Operating System, vulnerabilities will be discovered and security patches and Windows Updates will need to be applied to in order to keep your computer secure.
This is a good time to make the recommendation that your computer should be set up to automatically download and install Windows Updates as they’re released. Servers and other critical devices should be configured differently.
Microsoft has announced a critical vulnerability in a device driver used by the Aero theme display affecting Windows 7 64-bit, Server 2008 R2 64-bit and Server 2008 R2 for Itanium systems. A patch will be forthcoming during the next round of updates available on June 8. Until then, users can disable the Aero theme if they have it installed. For those systems that don’t have the Aero theme installed or enabled, your computer isn’t affected by this flaw.
