I seem to remember Microsoft were offering an e-mail subscription service that alerted you when new hotfixes, updates, etc came out.

Does anyone know the address?

Thanks

Kbalertz = Free Email "Alertz" when Microsoft Publishes Knowledge Base Articles!

What is kbAlertz.com?
kbAlertz.com is an e-mail notification system that scans the entire Microsoft Knowledge Base every night, and e-mails you when updates or additions are made to the technologies you subscribe to. Since we scan the entire knowledge base, we also have a pretty good search system for you to use on the left menu.

Subscribing is easy. Simply fill out your e-mail address and password below. Then, select the technologies that you're interested in. That's is. Now you'll be kept up to date when Microsoft publishes updates to your favorite technologies!!!

Kbalertz give you notifications of the whole knowledge base but I found one that is for security alerts only.

It is the Microsoft Security Updates Notification Service:
