Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.

This security update is rated Critical for Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7, Internet Explorer 8, Internet Explorer 9, Internet Explorer 10 and Internet Explorer 11 on Windows clients, Moderate for Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7, Internet Explorer 8, Internet Explorer 9, Internet Explorer 10 and Internet Explorer 11 on Windows servers.

Thanks Brink. I installed all the Windows updates this morning, 51Mb total. Required one restart & all installed without any problems.

I also checked with Adobe for the Adobe Reader XI update & that was installed. This update is 11.0.7 which updated from 11.0.6.
