From PC World: November’s Patch Tuesday has finally come, and with it Microsoft has eliminated 89 security vulnerabilities across Windows and other Microsoft apps and services. Four of those vulnerabilities are classified as “critical” and all but one of the remaining vulnerabilities are “high risk.”
