Here we go again... Theres a hole in Microsoft Word that can allow an attacker to take over control of your machine - its already being exploited in the wild, and theres no patch for it yet. Whats worse is that it can be triggered by merely *previewing* a doctored .rtf document within Outlook. You can minimise your risk by making sure youre not using an Admin account for everyday use, and by setting up Outlook *without* a preview pane so you can choose which documents you actually download... not foolproof, but unless youre competent to use EMET its the best on offer for the time being. https://technet.microsoft/en-us/security/advisory/2953095
