Exceptions to Monthly Release Schedule
Microsoft will make an exception to the above release schedule if we determine
that customers are at immediate risk from viruses,
worms, attacks or other malicious activities. In such a situation Microsoft may
release security patches as soon as possible to help
protect customers.
