RE: Word Marco Viruses... but hait there is more

[Dean Cunningham <DeanC@domain.elided>]

There is also an similar excel 97/2000 details at
http://www.avertlabs.com/
IMHO these are of severe annoyance value currently but further mutations
(probably in a few weeks) will be nasty!!
You should get youself protected and *update* the virus definition files
as soon as they are available from the manufacturer. (typically weekly)
These latest two target MS Outlook users ,not Outlook Express.
Half believe the hype in the media

(oh yeah........ these words are my own opinion and not my employers)
