A software update for Intel wireless hardware is faulty and can hog PC memory, Intel acknowledged last Thursday and fixed on Friday.
Apple and Microsoft are being urged to issue security updates for all device drivers in computers running their operating systems.

The chipmaker says a software incompatibility may trip up people trying to use a Centrino-based notebook with a virtual private network. But it says a fix has been available.
Intel hardware dominates the PC market, but a new emphasis on software could help the chipmaker expand into other markets and foster greater innovation, even if the effort could rankle longtime allies like Microsoft.
Wireless LAN vendors have fallen short in delivering interoperable, highly secure products and despite vendor marketing hype, achieving a highly secure enterprise wireless LAN remains complex and costly, says Meta Group.
