********************************************************************
Title: REVISED: September 2005 Microsoft Security Response Center
       Bulletin Notification
Issued: September 9, 2005
********************************************************************

Summary
=======
Microsoft will not issue any new security updates on 13 September
2005 as part of the September monthly bulletin release cycle. Based
on customer feedback, Microsoft instituted a monthly security update
release process on the second Tuesday of each month to provide
customers with security guidance and updates on a predictable and
manageable schedule. This update release process involves a
significant testing focus to help ensure customers will receive
updates that are of a high quality and Microsoft will not release an
update until it meets those standards. Occasionally, the testing
process and our strict focus on quality can result in a month where
no security updates are released, as is the case for 13 September
2005.
In addition, to help customers prioritize monthly security updates
with any non-security updates released on Microsoft Update, Windows
Update, Windows Server Update Services and Software Update Services
on the same day as the monthly security bulletins, we also provide:

 - Information about the release of updated versions of the
Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool.
 - Information about the release of NON-SECURITY, High Priority
updates on Microsoft Update (MU), Windows Update (WU), Windows
Server Update Services (WSUS) and Software Update Services (SUS).
Note that this information will pertain ONLY to updates on Windows
Update and only about High Priority, non-security updates being
released on the same day as security updates. Information will NOT
be provided about Non-security updates released on other days.

On 13 September 2005 Microsoft is planning to release:

Security Updates

 - No new security updates on 13 September as part of the September
monthly bulletin release cycle. This represents a change in the
information found in the Advance Notification on Thursday, September
8, 2005. Late in the testing process, Microsoft encountered a
quality issue that necessitated the update to go through additional
testing and development before it is released. Microsoft is
committed to only releasing high quality updates that fix the
issue(s) in question, and therefore we feel it is in the best
interest of our customers to not release this update until it
undergoes further testing.

Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool

 - Microsoft will release an updated version of the Microsoft
Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool on Windows Update, Microsoft
Update, Windows Server Update Services and the Download Center.
Note that this tool will NOT be distributed using Software Update
Services (SUS).

Non-security High Priority updates on MU, WU, WSUS and SUS
 - Microsoft will release one NON-SECURITY High-Priority Updates for
Windows on Microsoft Update (MU), Windows Update (WU), Windows
Server Update Services (WSUS) and Software Update Services (SUS).

Microsoft will still host a webcast next week to address customer
questions. For more information on this webcast please see below:

Bulletins (Level 100)
