Microsoft Mulls Patch Distribution With AV Updates | |
|
||
| Time: 07:59 EST/12:59 GMT | News Source: The Register | Posted By: Julien Jay | ||
|

Initial reaction to the idea was mixed, with Sophos, among others, suggesting that the best time to apply a Microsoft patch is when it first becomes available - not when a virus which exploits a particular vulnerability is released. | ||
