Hey

From Bullguard:

Microsoft will introduce a security advisory service on Tuesday that will confirm reports of flaws and provide a workaround until a patch is released, ZDNet reports. http://news.zdnet.com/2100-1009_22-5697945.html

The pilot program of Microsoft Security Advisories will strive to issue an alert within one business day of the company becoming aware of a problem, a Microsoft representative said.

"Customers have told us that they want more prescriptive and timely guidance on security issues, and Microsoft has responded to that feedback by continuously improving the security communications we deliver to customers," the representative said.

Each alert will come with a tracking number, which will enable people to follow any changes in the warning. An advisory may later turn into a security bulletin, in which a patch will be released. Microsoft has a regular monthly cycle of security updates.
