Default Windows Security Updates
Microsoft released a series of security updates for Windows the other day (they do every month) so I thought I'd mention it here.

Go to http://www.windowsupdate.com and install all the critical (high-priority) updates. Or set the automatic updates in Windows.

It does download them automatically - if you have it set to do that - but you still have to click the update icon in the toolbar to install them.
