Hi everyone, Today we published our advance notification for the May security bulletin release letting customers know that next Tuesday, May 11, we will release two Critical bulletins addressing two vulnerabilities - one in Windows and one in Office. Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 customers will be offered the Windows related update but they are not vulnerable in their default configurations.

Hi everyone, Here’s an update on MS10-016, a Windows Movie Maker bulletin we released in March 2010. At the time, we did not have an update for Microsoft Producer 2003. Today we have released a new version of Microsoft Producer that replaces the old version. We recommend that all customers using Producer 2003 upgrade to the new version located here.

Hi everyone – I’m Carlene Chmaj, new to the Security Response team and here to tell you that the re-release of MS10-025 is available. Again, this only affects those with Windows 2000 Servers in a non-default configuration with Windows Media Services installed. All customers with this configurartion are advised to install this re-released update.

I wanted to give customers an update on the status of MS10-025. First, I want to reiterate that this issue affects only Windows 2000 Servers in a non-default configuration: Windows Media Services needs to be installed. Customers who do not have Windows Media Services installed are not affected and were not offered this update.

Hi, MS10-025 is a security update that only affects Windows 2000 Server customers who have installed Windows Media Services (this is a non-default configuration). Today we pulled the update because we found it does not address the underlying issue effectively. We are not aware of any active attacks seeking to exploit this issue and are targeting a re-release of the update for next week.

Hi everyone, Last week Adrian Stone and I conducted a webcast to cover the Internet Explorer out-of-band security bulletin release. We only spent a short period of timing on the presentation and then spent the rest of the time answering customer questions which you can read here. There were some interesting questions and hopefully those who attended came away with a better understanding about how to better protect themselves from emerging threats.

Hi everyone, Today we released MS10-018 out-of-band due to increases in attacks against Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 using the vulnerability discussed in Security Advisory 981374. I want to reiterate that Internet Explorer 8 is not affected by this issue so customers using this version are not affected by these attacks and we continue to encourage customers to upgrade to the newer version because it provides more security and protection.
