Michael Argast joins me this week to summarize the important security news and talk a bit about this week's Microsoft patch release.
We started with the bizarre tale of Albert Gonzalez and his claims that he hacked TJX while working for the US Secret Service. We discussed the loss of 3.5 million people's personal data by the state of Texas.
We advised people to watch for attacks targeting the latest Adobe zero day, and looked at the top priorities for deployment this Patch Tuesday.

I took the opportunity to upgrade to IE9 as part of the "Patch Tuesday" releases and patches. Unfortunately it simply doesn't work - get a message saying "IE has stopped working, Windows is looking for a solution to the problem". However W7 doesn't seem able to fix the problem.
Why should MS release a duff update ?
