Poisoned PowerPoint attacks users

Post by fac51 »

Microsoft is warning Windows users about a virus that takes over PCs via the popular PowerPoint program.

Attached to the virus is a poisoned presentation that, if opened, installs keylogging software on a computer.

Users are being told to take care because it could be weeks before Microsoft produces a patch that protects against the security loophole.

So far relatively few people are thought to have been caught out by the booby-trapped presentation.
