Not too bad, just remember to keep checking for updates until AutoUpdate finally says there arenвЂ™t any.

My rule of thumb with Microsoft updates applies here: click вЂњ Check for UpdatesвЂќ until you finally see this prompt: Now it should finish up pretty quickly, dropping you back to the main AutoUpdate window. You wonвЂ™t have to download anything a second time, itвЂ™s all on-computer processes. Quit Word (donвЂ™t worry, the updater is a completely separate program) and click вЂњ RetryвЂќ to proceed. This time, however, youвЂ™ll need to quit Microsoft Word before it can install the update, as the updater gently reminds you:Д®asy enough. Notice that this is indeed a different update to the AutoUpdate progress bar earlier. It checks again and again reports that thereвЂ™s a pending update. YouвЂ™re not done yet, though! Click on вЂњ CloseвЂќ and you can again choose вЂњ Check for UpdatesвЂќ in the AutoUpdate program to see if there are any additional updates - like the one you want to apply to Microsoft Word. But to proceed youвЂ™ll need to apply this one, so click on вЂњ InstallвЂќ and itвЂ™ll quickly download and install, showing you the following rather quickly: Pay attention here: This is an update for the actual AutoUpdate program, not the update for Microsoft Word. ItвЂ™ll then go out to MicrosoftвЂ™s update server and check: To start, though, click on вЂњ Check for Updates:вЂќ on the lower right.

#MICROSOFT AUTOUPDATE FOR MAC OS FREEZES PATCH#

YouвЂ™ll see what I mean: weвЂ™ll need to check for updates twice for the proper patch to be applied. WhatвЂ™s weird about Microsoft AutoUpdate is that it often has to apply updates iteratively, not all at once. I would definitely recommend against you choosing вЂњManually CheckвЂќ as your preference, but I donвЂ™t like updates to happen without knowing about them, so you can see my default is вЂњAutomatically CheckвЂќ but not install. Select вЂњ Check for UpdatesвЂќ and itвЂ™ll launch the Microsoft AutoUpdateВ program. You could theoretically just sit at that point until the program checks for updates, but itвЂ™s easy to hasten the process along from the Help menu: On your Mac system, itвЂ™ll often pop up the Microsoft Updater immediately upon launching Microsoft Word, but if it doesnвЂ™t and youвЂ™re just looking at the following, IвЂ™ll show you the step-by-step: Word accepts and runs the script without producing the warning you would expect to see.вЂќДefinitely bad news, and something you should fix immediately, both on Windows and Mac systems, to ensure that youвЂ™re running the very latest version of MS Word. In this case, the booby-trapped server sends out a compiled HTML file with an embedded program script. вЂњOn unpatched systems, the vulnerability is triggered by opening a document that provokes a benign-looking download warning, followed by a download from a booby-trapped server that sends a document of a more dangerous sort. Security experts SophosLabs describe it this way: In fact, it appears to be something that can affect MacOS X users of Microsoft Word along with Windows users, which is rather unusual. YouвЂ™re right that there is a brand new exploit in the wild thatвЂ™s particularly malicious and targets Microsoft Word users.
