Today we’re providing advance notification for the release of seven bulletins, four Critical and three Important, for March 2013. The Critical bulletins address vulnerabilities in Microsoft Silverlight, Internet Explorer, Office and Microsoft Server Software. The three Important-rated bulletins will address issues in Microsoft Windows and Office.

Revisit this blog then for our analysis of the risk and impact, as well as our deployment guidance and a brief video overview of the month’s updates.

Evolving Response and the March 2013 Bulletin Release
MSRCTeam
12 Mar 2013 10:00 AM

As my career in security response has grown over the years, I am often reminded of the words of Italian author Giuseppe Tomasi Di Lampedusa, who stated, “If we want everything to remain as it is, it will be necessary for everything to change.” There are some things that we wish to stay the same. At Microsoft, we strive to provide protections for our customers while being transparent in our processes and authoritative in our guidance. Of course, as the computing landscape shifts, we must shift with it to reach this goal on a consistent basis.

Strangely, this update was unchecked by default, and it seems I'm not the only one:
