Poisoned PowerPoint attacks users

"Microsoft is warning Windows users about a virus that takes over PCs via
the popular PowerPoint program.

Attached to the virus is a poisoned presentation that, if opened, installs
keylogging software on a computer.

Users are being told to take care because it could be weeks before Microsoft
produces a patch that protects against the security loophole."
