Microsoft is expected to release 13 new security patches on Tuesday, February 8, including several "critical" updates.
The release, part of Microsoft's regularly scheduled monthly security update, is the company's biggest patch roundup in months. Included will be nine Windows updates, with at least one rated "critical." Also in the update bundle will be a "moderate-risk" update for Microsoft's SharePoint Services and Office; a .Net framework update rated "important"; a "critical" update affecting Office and Visual Studio; and a "critical" update affecting Windows, Windows Media Player, and MSN Messenger.
Microsoft announced the number of planned patches in a security bulletin advance-notification message posted to its TechNet Web site. The company has adopted a schedule of releasing security patches in batches on the second Tuesday of each month.
Details of this month's patches will be available when they are released on Tuesday. Microsoft will host a Webcast at 11 a.m. Pacific Time Wednesday to outline technical details of the updates, followed by a question-and-answer session. This month's Webcast has been extended by an hour to allow extra question-and-answer time.

You should all run Windows Update at the first chance you get tonight. I just did and there were 9 Security Updates waiting for me. Some of these issues affect Windows ME users too so.. That means you Becky!
Sorry for the really crappy picture up there. I was in a hurry. I'll try not to let it happen again, but it will.
