Hey everyone this is Adrian Stone and I wanted to let you know about a very limited issue that some Windows 2000 customers are experiencing after the installation of MS06-049. We just became aware of this issue due to customer reports earlier this week, and have been verifying the reports and understanding the root cause of the issue for the past two days.

Hi, Scott here from the MSRC operations team. I just wanted to drop a few lines to clarify the recent buzz/ activity on a PowerPoint zero day that occured over the weekend. Our investigation has proven thus far that customers who are up to date with Office security updates are NOT affected.

So I am back to give what I hope is the last update on the recent MS06-040 exploit. By the way, this is Adrian Stone again. As many of you know from the recent posts, and recent Advisory publication we have been working all weekend to stay on top of the Win32/Graweg issue so I thought it would be a good idea to update you with the current status as various enterprises and organizations around the world have come online.

Hey everyone, it’s Adrian. Wanted to drop in and let you know where we are in our investigation of Win32/Graweg. As I’m sure you’ve seen by now on our AV partner sites, this is rated as a low threat and doesn’t at this time replicate automatically from machine to machine. So it’s impact in terms of infection base appears to be extremely small.
