Microsoft has released 34 security patches this week, as part of their regular monthly updates, a record amount.
The variety includes patches for Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player, Oulook and Silverlight.
McAfee, makers of commercial anti-virus software, said that many of the security holes patched this week were very dangerous because they exposed PC owners to malware if they visited the wrong web site or played a file that had "been tampered with."
Microsoft's former record for patches was 31 in June.
