Microsoft will issue its biggest ever security update on 13 October.
The update will include 13 bulletins that between them tackle 34 vulnerabilities.
Microsoft said that eight of the bulletins were rated as critical - the most serious sort of vulnerability.
The security patches will close loopholes in many different programs including different editions of Windows, Internet Explorer and some elements of Office.

They're gearing up for the release of Win 7. If it hits the shelves with a bunch of vulnerabilities MS will never hear the end of it.

That's my theory anyway.

Yeah .... but I bet there will be more discovered, within days of the 22nd Oct, as the hackers will do their utmost to bring it down
