Hydraq / Aurora Trojan and Microsoft's Repsonce

Y'all,
I’m not one to spread panic and this notice is by no means an attempt to do so. However, as your computer buddy, Y’all Tech feels it’s important to keep you in the loop when an important security patch comes out from Microsoft.
Have a look and make sure all your windows machines have been updated by Microsoft Update recently. Below are some screen shots I took of my system for reference. The update to check for is the one outlined in blue below, As you can see, it was just released yesterday.

This update provides a patch that will keep you system from getting a bug that created such a storm of traffic it shut Google’s servers. (Oddly, I noticed it yesterday; Google’s home page just wouldn’t open.

This is NOT an emergency situation, simply good practice to keep your systems running smoothly.
Call me if you have any questions,
Scott
