Microsoft warns of new PC threat | |
|
||
| Time: 14:46 EST/19:46 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
|
A new vulnerability has been detected in PCs running Microsoft's Excel spreadsheet and PowerPoint presentation programs, which allows a specially crafted macro to avoid detection and run malicious code on a victim's machine. The software hole allows a malformed macro--a mini-program that runs within an application--to escape the security warnings built into Excel and PowerPoint, so that a computer user can unknowingly run infected macros when opening a spreadsheet or presentation. | ||
