Microsoft claims of releasing a 'Patch Tuesday' security update which will take care of the security needs for Windows Help and Support Centre vulnerability which was publicly unveiled by Google security researcher Tavis Ormandy.

Through the Windows Help and Support Centre in Windows XP users can download Help topics that aid to troubleshoot problems which come across while suing the system.

Ormandy on the other hand claims of releasing the patch after Microsoft refused to release details of the vulnerability and provide a patch for it.

It’s the other matter where Ormandy had to face heavy criticism from both Microsoft and the security community after the vulnerability was exploited by hackers in thousands of Windows XP systems. However Windows Help update comes as one of four security patches that is being launched by Microsoft under the ‘Patch Tuesday’ banner.

CTO Wolfgang Kandek, stated: “Windows XP SP2 users are advised to upgrade to SP3, which will be supported throughout 2014. Windows 2000 users need to upgrade to a different version of the operating system altogether, as the entire Windows 2000 line is discontinued.”
