Should Microsoft decouple IE from Patch Tuesday? | Zero Day | ZDNet.com: http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=2558 This comes up now and then.  Should Microsoft release patches at any time and not wait for Patch Tuesday

Hello, Michael here… Over the last couple of years, I’ve released information about various Microsoft product security bugs that required security bulletins to explain why the SDL missed the bugs (if indeed it did) and what defenses came into play (if any) and what lessons could be learned from the bug.

Thanks to Chris Puckett and his team for working on this to get a resolution.  We have seen this primarily with Trend Micro (our primary anti-virus product) but it is happening with any product using TDI, so if you are getting similar behavior from your server(s), get this hotfix !  See the SBS blog post .
