I get alerts from Microsoft whenever there is a new security update for my system. I was surprised to learn that most of my friends don't. They run virus scans, but they don't apply security updates. By the time your virus detector tells you there's a problem, it's too late.
I just got an alert today, and applied fixes to exposures in Internet Explorer and Windows.
To sign up for Microsoft alerts, go to http://www.microsoft.com/, and click on "June Security Updates" on the right. Then scroll down to "Actions to Take Now". Step 1 will get you up to date, and step 2 will get you alerts as new fixes are released.
