    Criticality of this is horribly underrated by Microsoft.

    This is critically important for all Windows MS Office users - "the user must open the attachment" is no protection because most users open attachments to see what they are.

    If the infected Word Perfect document is given a .DOC extension, Word will be invoked directly when the user double-clicks the attachment. Word will automatically recognize and convert the document, and run the hostile code with no further opportunity for the user to stop the virus.

    The vulnerability could also be exploited through a web page, and the user would get no chance to say "No" if ActiveX is enabled.
