The gist of it is that a Trojan called Dridex is being spread through the use of a hidden macro in Word documents sent as spam. The Trojan itself is several ears old but is especially dangerous.

Microsof is patching it today with it's patch Tuesday updates. So just make sure to run Windows update tonight or tomorrow.
