Thanks for the heads up. I guess that upgrade along the way will protect most of the Word users out there because this is limited to Word 2000. vendor's security response team has investigated the report and concluded that the attack is limited to users of Word 2000. "[We are aware of] an attack scenario that involves malware known as Win32/Wordjmp and Win32/Mofeir," I am guessing that all of my clients are on at least Office XP or 2003 versions.
