Numerous patches for various system vulnerabilities have being released by Microsoft and Adobe today. Users and system administrators are strongly encouraged to patch up their systems as some vulnerability may allow hackers to gain control over your computer.
Microsoft alone has released 13 patches for their operating system (including Windows 7) and Office suite. One the other hand, Adobe is releasing critical patches for its highly insecure Adobe Reader.
Like I said before all users and administrators are encouraged to update their windows system. Windows user can do this through the Microsoft Update or Automatic update, while Adobe Reader users can install their patches directly through the program.

A day after I wrote about OfficeTab in my previous post. The post gained more coverage when it got featured on DownloadSquad and the traffic just kept coming.
One commenter on DownloadSquad wrote that:
I can’t say I’m disappointed, though. I was intrigued, but it probably would have been counterproductive for me because I probably wouldn’t have been able to have separate documents open on each screen of my extended (dual-monitor) desktop.
It appears that you can compare documents side-by-side on a single monitor, but I need more of the documents to be viewable than a single monitor would allow.
Well there is a workaround for the problem of OfficeTab not allowing Office Apps from creating new windows/instances. Its overcome by forcing Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint to create a new process.
To open Microsoft Office App’s separately in a new process. Simply in the run command box either from the Start Menu or press Win+ R and type:
For MS words: “WINWORD.exe -p”
For Excel: “EXCEL.exe -p”
For PowerPoint: “POWERPNT.exe -p”
There you go, new instances of Word, Excel or Powerpoint for your dual monitor setup.
Another commenter “Sam” commented on SlashNow that:
I only now realized that the app has left an undesirable legacy and would like to warn others. After uninstalling the app, I can now have two documents open in word (btw, it’s word 2007) without knowing it. (I juggle a lot of documents at any given time, so it’s easy to lose track.)
In other words: There is no indication that I have more than one doc open – not within word, not in the toolbar. Only when I chose ‘View’ > ‘Arrange all’ am I able to see all open documents and access them (to e.g. close them). This is a rather annoying bug – if anybody has an idea how to change this back to the normal behavior (= every document has a toolbar icon), please do so. Thank you!
Sam, himself came up with the solution soon after:
1. My problem from my previous post can be fixed this way (in Word 2007);
Go to Word Options > Advanced > Section: Display > Show all windows in the taskbar
klick this and you can see all your documents again.
2. Alternatively manage several open windows by doing this:
In the menu bar click on View > Switch windows
… and you’ll get to see all docs that are currently open.
3. If you don’t want to see a seperate icon for each document on the taskbar:
Undo #1 (see above) AND just toggle between all open documents by using the keyboard shortcut CTRL+F6
