Aol gives its users no way to voice their opinions, Aol did away with its suggestions e-mails months ago. The only means of letting them know how you feel is to use the live chat help or call them... both of which get you a person that continually says how sorry they are for any inconvienience but theres nothing they can do.
Is anyone besides me upset with the way Aol has treated it's customers?]]>Feb 26th 2009 12:27PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/02/25/microsoft-excel-security-hole-exploited/http://www.switched.com/2009/02/25/microsoft-excel-security-hole-exploited/Feb 26th 2009 12:50PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/02/25/microsoft-excel-security-hole-exploited/http://www.switched.com/2009/02/25/microsoft-excel-security-hole-exploited/
"Affected software includes Microsoft Office 2000, 2002, 2003, and 2007 and Microsoft Office 2004 and 2008 for Mac."

but then:

"The risk is low and there have been few infections, Symantec said in an advisory. It lists Windows Vista and XP as affected systems."

In other words, this is a Microsoft Excel virus that can be carried in .xls documents in either the Mac or Windows versions of Office but the virus itself only affects Windows XP or Vista.

A confirmation on Symantec's advisory page states:
Trojan.Mdropper.AC
Type: Trojan
Systems Affected: Windows XP, Windows Vista]]>Feb 26th 2009 12:50PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/02/25/microsoft-excel-security-hole-exploited/http://www.switched.com/2009/02/25/microsoft-excel-security-hole-exploited/Feb 26th 2009 1:22PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/02/25/microsoft-excel-security-hole-exploited/http://www.switched.com/2009/02/25/microsoft-excel-security-hole-exploited/Feb 27th 2009 7:42PM
