    Microsoft has issued a security advisory after a growing number of attacks using Excel files.
    A zero-day flaw has been found in Microsoft Office 2000, Office XP, Office 2003, and Office 2004 for Mac.
    The vulnerability could allow a specially crafted Excel package to carry malware that could give a hacker full control of an infected PC.
