Microsoft battles Word PC virus
"Users are being warned to watch out for booby-trapped documents
Microsoft could release early a patch for a loophole in its Word program that virus writers are already exploiting. If users get infected by the virus, attackers could open up a backdoor on the PC and take over the machine to use it for their own ends. A fix is due for release in mid-June but Microsoft said it would bring it forward if the action was "warranted". Microsoft told users to turn off some Word features in order to protect themselves." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/5013712.stm -- Imhotep Imhotep |
