Bugs and Fixes
In Brief
Word Theft
Microsoft Word 97, 2000, and 2002 could permit a clever cracker to steal copies of files on your hard drive by sending you a malicious Word document file and getting you to return it. Microsoft says the apparent hole is simply a Word feature; at Microsoft TechNet the company offers some general ways to protect your files from prying eyes.
Java Jive
Microsoft found two "critical" holes in its Java Virtual Machine. The flaws could let a bad guy take over your system. Hop to Microsoft Security Bulletin MS02-052 to get the patch.
King Klez
Many users haven't updated their antivirus software to block the Klez.H worm. It's now the most widespread virus in history. To stop this insidious worm, go to McAfee's advisory page or to Symantec Security Response for removal steps.
