More generally, if you are using the NTx Automatic Updates feature
in its prompt mode, you can doubleclick on that icon (in the notification area)
then select the update you are interested in (e.g. KB913580), then click on
the more information link (e.g.
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=62071
which redirects to the same URL that Robin gave you.)
FYI
