Microsoft released a dozen patches to fix dozens of vulnerabilities in Windows, Internet Explorer, Skype and other software. One-quarter of the patches from Microsoft address flaws that the company labels critical, meaning they can be exploited by malware or malcontents to break into vulnerable systems with no help from users.

Adobe issued a patch for Flash Player software that fixes at least 17 vulnerabilities in the program and in Adobe AIR.”]
