"Office XP/Outlook 2002 gets its first virus And speaking of viruses, Outlook 2002 is looking a little pale this morning. It seems that an ActiveX control that ships with the new Office XP PIM and email application could enable a hacker to gain control of the user's system, a painfully familiar problem these days. The ActiveX control, called the Microsoft Outlook View Control, displays the Outlook inbox, so it's sort of central to the whole affair. The bug was first discovered by security researcher Georgi Guninski. Microsoft says it will prepare a patch as soon as possible, though Guninski says he already has one: "Uninstall Office XP and Windows." Funny guy."
