Watch out for Powerpoint Presentation !

Another zero-day exploit has been found on Microsoft Office Application which affect Microsoft Powerpoint 2000, 2002 / XP, 2003. This exploit can install keyloggers, adware, malware or any other malicious program (depending on what the attacker wants) on your computer when the exploited powerpoint presentation executed by the victims

So far there hasnt been any patch from the Microsoft. But Microsoft announced that the patch will be ready on 8 August 2006 or sooner as warranted. So until Microsoft already released the patch, do not open any powerpoint attachment (if its an email messages), or any powerpoint attachment that came from untrusted sources to prevent infection and always update your antivirus program.
