Patch Tuesday is coming next week, on October 10, 2006. Tune your computers to receive Automatic Windows Updates at 10100000 on your binary dials. 
Here is the skinny, from Uncle Bill Gates and company:
On 10 October 2006 Microsoft is planning to release:
Security Updates
. Six Microsoft Security Bulletins affecting Microsoft Windows. The highest Maximum Severity rating for these is Critical. These updates will be detectable using the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer. Some of these updates will require a restart.
. Four Microsoft Security Bulletins affecting Microsoft Office. The highest Maximum Severity rating for these is Critical. These updates will be detectable using the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer. These updates may require a restart.
. One Microsoft Security Bulletin affecting Microsoft .NET Framework. The highest Maximum Severity rating for this is Moderate. These updates will be detectable using the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer and the Enterprise Scan Tool. These updates may
require a restart.
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).
. Microsoft will release two NON-SECURITY High-Priority Updates
on Microsoft Update (MU) and Windows Server Update Services (WSUS).
Although we do not anticipate any changes, the number of bulletins, products affected, restart information and severities are subject to change until released.
At this time no additional information on these bulletins such as details regarding severity or details regarding the vulnerability will be made available until 10 October 2006.
If anything comes up before these patches are released I will post them as replies to this topic, or start a new one.

Bump^
Patch Tuesday is today. If you have turned on Automatic Windows Updates you will receive up to 11 patches sometime Tuesday, October 10. Several of these patches may require a reboot, which may, or may not occur automatically, after a certain amount of time passes (after the updates are installed).
If you do not want to receive Automatic Updates you should visit the Windows or Microsoft Updates website to review the critical patches that are being released in this cycle.
As often happens, you should watch for warnings (posted by me or other security pros), advising of zero-day Exploit-Wednesday attacks that are released the day after the planned Windows updates are pushed out.
