Excel

There is an apparent vulnerability in Microsoft Excel. The big M is releasing an update for it which should be available February 13.  The vulnerability is present in Office 2000, XP, 2003 and the 2004 Mac Version.

I figured it was good to let you guys know but I think NextLust readers are smart enough to avoid this problem, seeing as how you have to open an email attachment to get a malicious excel file.
