Microsoft has issued an advanced security bulletin for its various software for the month of July, including Internet Explorer.
The security bulletin featured seven aspects of Microsoft's numerous products that will receive an update, but only six were labeled as critical.

Microsoft has defined "critical" as a "vulnerability whose exploitation could allow code execution without user interaction. These scenarios include self-propagating malware (e.g. network worms), or unavoidable common use scenarios where code execution occurs without warnings or prompts."
The six critical bulletins affect Microsoft .Net Framework, Silverlight, Windows, Office, Visual Studio, Lync, and Internet Explorer. It isn't specified as to which version of the Microsoft browser will receive the update.
According to the advance notification, the update is meant to combat hackers from exploiting any of the six critical bulletins, such as Word or Internet Explorer, from a remote location.
Microsoft will release the update on July 9 with a webcast on July 10 that will address the security bulletins at 11 a.m. PST.
People can register and watch the one-hour webcast by clicking here. The webcast, so far, will feature Microsoft's Response Communications' Group Manager Dustin Childs.
Latinos Post will provide an update once Microsoft rolls out the update next week.
