Microsoft October 2008 Patch Day Patches 11 Security Vulnerabilities
It was always a mystery to me why Microsoft released security patches on one day only considering that an unpatched security vulnerability could be exploited easily in that time. The impression with all the announcements regarding the patches a week or so earlier is that Microsoft has (some of) the patches ready but is not releasing them because they release them in one package on one day.
Microsoft released a batch of eleven security patches for various operating systems and products yesterday which are available by visiting Windows Update or Microsoft Technet which contains in depths information about the affected products and the security vulnerabilities.
The patches fix four critical, six important and 1 moderate security vulnerability:
- Microsoft Security Bulletin MS08-060 - Critical - Vulnerability in Active Directory Could Allow Remote Code Execution (957280)
- Microsoft Security Bulletin MS08-058 - Critical - Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (956390)
- Microsoft Security Bulletin MS08-059 - Critical - Vulnerability in Host Integration Server RPC Service Could Allow Remote Code Execution (956695)
- Microsoft Security Bulletin MS08-057 - Critical - Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Excel Could Allow Remote Code Execution (956416)
- Microsoft Security Bulletin MS08-066 - Important - Vulnerability in the Microsoft Ancillary Function Driver Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (956803)
- Microsoft Security Bulletin MS08-061 - Important -Vulnerabilities in Windows Kernel Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (954211)
- Microsoft Security Bulletin MS08-062 - Important - Vulnerability in Windows Internet Printing Service Could Allow Remote Code Execution (953155)
- Microsoft Security Bulletin MS08-063 - Important - Vulnerability in SMB Could Allow Remote Code Execution (957095)
- Microsoft Security Bulletin MS08-064 - Important - Vulnerability in Virtual Address Descriptor Manipulation Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (956841)
- Microsoft Security Bulletin MS08-065 - Important - Vulnerability in Message Queuing Could Allow Remote Code Execution (951071)
- Microsoft Security Bulletin MS08-056 - Moderate - Vulnerability in Microsoft Office Could Allow Information Disclosure (957699)
It is highly recommended to update the products as soon as possible to protect the system from this attacks.

Does it come back after every “moment” update?
Yeah right.. Like this is going to stop defender from running =) This is comedy gold right here.
no ‘about the author’ paragraph?
For permanent disable defender is if removed complete from system no just change permission folder.
Just this is joke.
simpler, load Autoruns (SysInternals)
– filter “Defender”
– untag all entries
– reboot
nothing has changed since my 1st modification years ago
I wouldn’t disable Defender imho, it has too many hidden roots inside Windows itself. One time I tried to uninstall it using brute force scripts and then the Onedrive feature stopped working definitely. A reinstallation was needed and since those times I prefer to maintain Defender untouched. It’s a better method to install another antivirus and it will disable Defender in a safer and easier mode (e.g., Avast is the best in this way, and also Panda Cloud Free is good too).
You can not stop defender from running in background or remove it without some penalty. All you can do is to limit telemetry.
@borts,
It’s probably Smartscreen which is preventing WD from being disabled. Get rid of that and the problem should be solved: https://thegeekpage.com/disable-windows-defender-smartscreen/#How_to_disable_the_Windows_Defender_SmartScreen_via_Local_Group_Policy_Editor
Remove Windows and go for Linux.
Linux sucks dude. Besides it’s not comparable to Windows, these OSes are in different classes entirely.
I use Linux as my daily driver. It’s far more stable than Windows. When’s the last time you used Linux, 2010?
@basingstoke
You’re right, dude. Bro, linux is just a bunch of code that starts before the OS, dude. Brobrodude, that shit ain’t even got emojis, dudebrodudeman! Dudebro, it’s no way near as cool as Windows with its hardcoded abilities to make money off the user, bro. Yo brodude man, you’re the coolest dude ever man, bro. Dude.
Lol what? Windows 7 doesn’t come with any Emojis
Download Autoruns and remove the checkmark from Windows Defender. It doesn’t remove it, but it will never run. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns
Just use “Defender Control”:

it also works on Windows 11 too…
Win Defender, is completly the most succesful free-built in antivirus of Microsoft. Really nice product. Saved my ass a lot of times. Has updated malware database, completly strong defence
from whatever smart screen disables. Or if you want better and more upgrated (paid) program,
you can go further. But defender is always on your side.
Why would one disable Windows (or Microsoft) Defender in the first place?. I consider this to be playing with fire big time. Everybody knows that if one is using another A-V, Defender will be disabled on its own and won’t be in one’s way.
Why would I want to disable Windows Defender in the first place? It’s a great anti virus in my opinion. Been using it since Windows 8 and and never had a problem or a virus. Why mess with a good thing, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
How a ridiculous article!
I am thoroughly stunned.
Why Should You Disable First-Party Windows Defender?
I can only think that it is “malice or perversely intention (want you to buy a third-party AV where you can expect a back margin)” to guide invalidation without showing the premise.
No sane company will use third-party closed source programs (such as AV).
As I thought, “Ghacks Technology News” seems to be coming to downfall.
