This got tiresome a long long time ago. But, that being said we have yet another Word vulnerability. This is apparently quite bad.

From Secunia:

Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft Word, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user’s system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an unspecified error when parsing Word documents and can be exploited to execute arbitrary code on the user’s system.

NOTE: The vulnerability is currently being actively exploited.

The vulnerability is reported in Microsoft Word 2000. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Do not open untrusted Office documents. (not much of a fix, I know)
