Microsoft Security Bulletin Advance Notification
Updated: April 1, 2007
Security Bulletin Advance Notification

As part of the monthly security bulletin release cycle, Microsoft provides 
advance notification to our customers on the number of new security updates 
being released, the products affected, the aggregate maximum severity and 
information about detection tools relevant to the update. This is intended to 
help our customers plan for the deployment of these security updates more 
effectively.

In addition, to help customers prioritize monthly security updates with any 
non-security updates released on Microsoft Update, Windows Update, Windows 
Server Update Services and Software Update Services on the same day as the 
monthly security bulletins, we also provide:
.	

Information about the release of updated versions of the Microsoft Windows 
Malicious Software Removal Tool.
.	

Information about the release of NON-SECURITY, High Priority updates on 
Microsoft Update (MU), Windows Update (WU), Windows Server Update Services 
(WSUS) and Software Update Services (SUS).

Note that this information will pertain ONLY to updates on Microsoft Update, 
Windows Update, Windows Server Update Services and Software Update Services and 
only about High Priority, non-security updates being released on the same day as 
security updates. Information will NOT be provided about Non-security updates 
released on other days.

On Tuesday 3 April 2007 Microsoft is planning to release:

Severity rating for these is Critical. These updates will require a restart. 
These updates will be detectable using the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer.
