    All versions of Windows, All releases of Internet Explorer and Word 2000/2002

    Remote Code Execution - A vulnerability exists in [usual suspects] that could allow an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerable to take complete control of the affected system.

    Based on previous vulnerabilities and the length of time it takes to release a patch it's a pretty safe bet that on average, a fully patched windows system has at least one vulnerability that allows an attacker to take complete control.

    This is why you need antivirus, firewalls and spyware detectors.

    Just run Windows Update, they're this months releases, along with the July Malicious Software Removal Tool.

    Or, if you must be picky about downloading them :D
