Hey folks – Mike Reavey here. Recently, some folks have asked us if there’s a new security update in MSN Messenger. In doing some investigation, we’ve realized that these questions might be coming in because the “Date Published” on this page on our
So what changed on this page? Because of the way our internal publishing tools function, the “Date Published” on this page is updated any time any change is made. This includes textual changes. For example, this Tuesday we updated some links and text on this page for localization issues, which then refreshed the date to 5/17/2005.
Your next question is probably, “How do I know if, when, and why an update changes if the date changes on this page for every little thing?” Every Security Bulletin has a full list, with a revision-log, of any changes to either the text of the security bulletin, or packages referenced with a security bulletin. Also, if you want to be notified proactively for any of these changes, you can sign-up to receive the comprehensive version of our Security Notification Service. It’ll E-mail you when minor or major content changes occur with a security update.
I hope this helps clear up any questions folks may have around this issue!
