Microsoft June Mayhem
Microsoft released 70 patches June 13th for all their products. This is the first time in months Microsoft patched holes that are zero day (actively exploited by hackers). The patches have been interfering with some antivirus and antimalware products such as Malwarebytes. Expect patches from those vendors to fix the Microsoft patches.
Hackers are actively exploiting problems Microsoft patched back in April and May that affect Visual Studio and Win32K.
