Windows 10 Security Bug - Are you protected?

The recent discovery of a security bug in Windows 10 has identified a vulnerability, potentially affecting hundreds of millions of computers running the operating system. The danger is that this bug could allow attackers to run malicious software, such as ransomware, on vulnerable computers. Microsoft has classified the bug as “important” and our advice is to seek advice immediately if you have Windows 10 installed on your computers.

The good news is that within hours of Microsoft releasing security patches, all Conformedia clients had the patches applied, ensuring their computer systems are up to date and secure.
