Subject: MS Update coming today

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/advance.mspx

"Microsoft originally planned to release the update on Tuesday, January 10,
2006 as part of its regular monthly release of security bulletins, once
testing for quality and application compatibility was complete. However,
testing has been completed earlier than anticipated and the update is ready
for release...

"Microsoft's monitoring of attack data continues to indicate that the
attacks are limited and are being mitigated both by Microsoft's efforts to
shut down malicious Web sites and with up-to-date signatures form anti-virus
companies.

"The security update will be available at 2:00 pm PT as MS06-001. "
