Ever since the infamous KB951748 vs. Zone Alarm conflict, I've been looking for a site that reports bugs in these updates BEFORE I install them. I have my automatic updates set to notify but not install for just this reason.

In the past, I've browsed around discussion boards randomly looking for bug reports, but now I'd like to find sort of a "clearinghouse" for these things.

I've thought about looking at some MS Newsgroups for this kind of info, but that's like having the "fox guard the chickens". I'm not suggesting that the MS 500 pound gorilla is less than honest, but I just don't think MS would be a good clearinghouse for this sort of stuff.

I guess I could go through and read the MS KB Bulletins, but that seems a bit tedious when there are several updates that come out at one time (like recently). And I don't think the bulletins would necessarily report bugs.

So is there someplace I can go to find the info I want in one place (timely, of course) that is sort of a clearinghouse for MS Update bugs that reports them within 24 hours?? ('Cause I don't want to wait too long before I install the updates . . . don't want to be one of those "Zero day" exploit victims . . . though as I understand it "Zero day" is when the exploit was first discovered, which could be more than a day before MS comes out with a patch . . . so "Zero day" is not necessarily the day the patch comes out).
TIA

One approach would be to google for "KB951748 Zone Alarm conflict" and see which forums showed up and use those. I googled and found several forums mentioning the bug.
