Microsoft has begun its 2017 with the release of four updates to address security holes in Windows and Office, while Adobe has posted fixes for more than three dozen vulnerabilities in Flash and Reader.
By the way, if you update Reader, bear in mind it comes with a little surprise: a Chrome extension that sends Adobe telemetry.
Some things just never change. On days like these you can be glad if you just don't use Office, Flash and Reader.
