We've recieved reports (Thanks Juha-Matti) that Symantec is detecting this attack. Trojan.Mdropper.J is the detection for the malicious .xls which uses the 0-day exploit to drop Downloader.Booli.A.

Well, I guess I am moving to OpenOffice for good now...this is just getting silly. I open a spreadsheet and I get hacked? WTF?

Let's hope all that Vista truly is better. Since Microsoft has everyone and their grandfather looking at the code..it damn well better.
