Some experts believe that even the Important ones are Critical though. Check out the Security Bulletins article for more details. I also wanted to take a minute to ask that you spread the word about this site and this newsletter. Especially for home computer users and users that don't have teams of information security professionals watching over them. Just tell one person or recommend to one friend that they check out the site and/or sign up for the newsletter so they can learn more and be more secure.
