IE lets bad web sites attack your computer

[Mark Jurik <mark@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Regarding: Microsoft Office 2000, PowerPoint 97/2000 and IE 4.01 SP2 and higher.

Even though you may have instructed IE to not run Java and ActiveX, a vulnerability in IE allows a malicious script located on a web page to open Microsoft Office files that may include malicious VBA macro code. This is a security bug.

Users running Office 2000 can download a patch from http://officeupdate.microsoft.com/2000/downloaddetails/Addinsec.htm 

Users running Powerpoint 97 can download a patch from
