This is an advance notification of security bulletins that
Microsoft is intending to release on March 12, 2013.
The full version of the Microsoft Security Bulletin Advance
Notification for March 2013 can be found at
http://technet.microsoft.com/security/bulletin/ms13-mar.
This bulletin advance notification will be replaced with the

Bulletins are issued, subscribe to Microsoft Technical Security
Notifications on

Microsoft will host a webcast to address customer questions on
these bulletins on March 13, 2013, at 11:00 AM Pacific Time
(US & Canada). Register for the Security Bulletin Webcast at
http://technet.microsoft.com/security/bulletin.
Microsoft also provides information to help customers prioritize
monthly security updates with any non-security, high-priority
updates that are being released on the same day as the monthly
security updates. Please see the section, Other Information.
This advance notification provides a number as the
bulletin identifier, because the official Microsoft Security

Microsoft Active Protections Program (MAPP)
===========================================
To improve security protections for customers, Microsoft provides
vulnerability information to major security software providers in
advance of each monthly security update release. Security software
providers can then use this vulnerability information to provide
updated protections to customers via their security software or
devices, such as antivirus, network-based intrusion detection
systems, or host-based intrusion prevention systems. To determine
whether active protections are available from security software
providers, please visit the active protections websites provided by
program partners, listed at
http://www.microsoft.com/security/msrc/collaboration/mapp.aspx.
Recognize and avoid fraudulent email to Microsoft customers:
=============================================================
If you receive an email message that claims to be distributing
a Microsoft security update, it is a hoax that may contain
malware or pointers to malicious websites. Microsoft does
not distribute security updates via email.
The Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) uses PGP to digitally
sign all security notifications. However, PGP is not required for
reading security notifications, reading security bulletins, or
installing security updates. You can obtain the MSRC public PGP key
at
https://technet.microsoft.com/security/bulletin/pgp.
