Microsoft has announced that it will release six software patches next Tuesday covering flaws in its Windows operating system.

On a statement posted on its website Microsoft states that is also planning to release an updated version of its Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool, and a non-security update for Windows.

These security patches will come as part of the company's regular monthly patch release cycle. Though the company has not release details about the nature of the patches it stes some of them will be rated 'critical'.

Microsoft's critical rating means that these flaws if unpatched could allow malicious code to be installed on an affected computer without user action.

The company also stated that while the software removal tool update will be available on Windows Update, Microsoft Update, Windows Server Update and Download Center, it will not be distributed using Software Update Services.
