Just previewing email can give attackers control of your PC, Microsoft warns

Attackers are actively exploiting a newly discovered Microsoft Word vulnerability that could be used to gain remote access of your PC. The vulnerability can be triggered by opening or merely previewing a malicious email using Outlook’s default settings. The same vulnerability affects Word 2013, Word 2013 RT, Word 2007, Word 2003, Microsoft Office for Mac 2011, and related programs like Word Compatibility Viewer and Word Automation Services on Microsoft SharePoint Server. Microsoft’s released a Fix It that neutralizes the exploit by barring all RTFs whatsoever.”]
