Poisoned PowerPoint attacks users
Posted: Thu Jul 20, 2006 7:04 pm
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.
