Microsoft unlocked the security updates for June 2012 a few minutes ago which Windows users can now downloaded via the operating system's Windows Update feature. A total of seven different bulletins have been released which address issues in Windows, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and the .NET Framework.
Three of the seven bulletins have received a maximum severity rating of critical, the highest rating possible, while the remaining four one of important. This means that at least one product is critically affected by the vulnerabilities that it fixes.
Take a look at the Bulletin Deployment Priorities, and the Severity and Exploitability Index below. The first is a suggestion by Microsoft on how the bulletins should be deployed on affected systems, the second a visual representation of the risk and impact of each individual bulletin.
Here is a list of all bulletins and their description.
All security bulletins are already available via Windows Update. It may be necessary to click on the check for updates button in the interface to force the program to retrieve the new update information, as Windows is not checking all the time for new updates.
Updates, including the June 2012 security ISO image, will also be made available on Microsoft's Download Center. It usually takes some time before they are listed there though.
You can follow the links above for detailed information about each of the bulletins that Microsoft has released in June 2012. If you need an executive's overview, try the June 2012 Bulletin Summary page instead, or the Microsoft Security Response Center blog post.

Just updated, all 32mb worth and all is well.
Thanks, Martin!
Thanks Martin, This was a great help with installing main 15 updates this mouth. Again nice those pictures with I can increase and clearly displayed what each update means.
According to Microsoft’s Windows update report , in View Update History, Windows doesn’t have any Critical updates at all , just important one. Which shows you how secure the OS is /s
There are already 4 new security bulletins from Microsoft.
hmmm for some reason this “Important” update is not checked by default in the Windows Update screen:
“Security Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems KB2585542 ”
Is anyone else seeing this?
I’m not seeing that.
After installing the windows updates of today (june 13th 2012), my IE9 could not connect to the internet anymore. I tried switching off firewall, didn’t work. Tried resetting IE, didn’t work. Turned on the softwarerendering instead of GPU (in internet options -> advanced), didn’t work. Rebooted in safe mode (with internet acces), didn’t work. Resetting the modem, didn’t work. Added IE to the data Execution prevention, didn’t work.
The only thing that fixed it was a systemrecovery. Of course not the ideal situation with all the security updates that i’m missing. Right now I’m scanning my pc for malicious software and had the winsock fixed/reset. I’m out of options after this.
Anyone any suggestions?
Maybe it was blocked by a firewall?
Use another/better browser that isn’t effected by Microsoft’s update.
I am having the same issue. Did a system restore, fixed it until another update came along. Can’t even get on Microsoft to find a patch.
I also had issues with latest IE9 update. I was experiencing frequent web page freezing and hanging after updating to IE 9.0.7. After some digging around I found out that it was flash player 11.2 which was responsible for that. I updated flash player to the latest version (11.3) but that didn’t solve it. Then I uninstalled the update KB2699988 and reverted back to IE 9.0.6. No freezing now and it’s working well with the latest flash player (as well as the previous version, 11.2). I googled about this issue but found no helpful information about it. It’s quite weird. Am I the only one having this problem?
Btw, anyone knows how to report problem to MS regarding IE9?
Okay, my bad. I just found out what I was looking for (http://goo.gl/wVJBf). It wasn’t flash player after all, it was incompatibility between the update and DFX Audio Enhancer. I just uninstalled DFX, re-installed KB2699988 and that freezing or hanging is no more occurring with IE 9.0.7.
