Microsoft Word Vulnerability Update December 8, 2006

Posted by admin in : Expert Advice from the ITS HelpDesk, IT Security Tips, Virus Alert , trackback

As of today, Microsoft still has not developed a patch for the Microsoft Word Vulnerability.  As a preventative measure to protect our users and the University Network, ITS initially set up a block on all Microsoft Word related attachments within Outlook.  This caused Outlook to quarantine Microsoft Word related attachments within Outlook.  If you have a Microsoft Word related attachment that has been blocked within Outlook and you require this file to be restored, please contact the ITS Helpdesk at 766-6804 for restoration.  As a best practice, ITS recommends users should always exercise extreme caution when opening unsolicited attachments from both known and unknown sources.  ITS will keep the University community informed as updates become available.
