Today the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) posted
details about the March security updates. On
Tuesday, March 8 Microsoft will release 3 bulletins.  

They will address issues in:

• 
  Microsoft Windows
• 
  Microsoft Office

The Microsoft
Security Bulletin Advance Notification Service offers
details about security updates approximately three business days before they
are released. We do this to allow customers (especially IT professionals) to
plan for effective deployment of security updates.

Advanced Notification includes information about:

• The number of new security updates being released
• The software affected
• Severity levels of vulnerabilities
• Information about any detection tools relevant to the
  updates

For more information about the security updates that will be
released on March 8, see Microsoft
Security Bulletin Advance Notification for March 2011. Microsoft will host a webcast to address customer questions on the security
bulletins on March 9, 2011, at 11:00 AM Pacific Time (US & Canada). Register
now for the March Security Bulletin Webcast.
