This week Microsoft released security updates to fix more than 80 flaws in its software. The company’s own Windows security product, Microsoft Defender Antivirus, can be exploited. The actively-exploited remote code execution flaw can be triggered by the mere act of Microsoft Defender attempting to scan a boobytrapped file for malware. Version 1.1.17700.4 and later of the Microsoft malware protection engine are said to not be affected by the flaw – so check that you are running the latest version of the software.”]
