I wouldn’t do anything about these yet. Only one is an OS bug (the first one). 2 are Office specific, 1 is Microsoft Access and one is in Visual Basic. Note that the 2003 version of Office seems to be unaffected. Don’t do any patching yet … let’s let them age. I’ll let you know when it’s time to do something. I would make sure I know who’s me any Word documents and make sure the content’s important if I’m going to open it. Basically, I’m just going to try to reduce the number of documents
I open that haven’t been under my control. I don’t think virus scanners will necessarily be able to help us on these.
