Apparently, Microsoft did not get all the critical problems fixed this time around. Secunia is advising that if you run Microsoft Office, do not open any ".mdb" files that may be sent to you via e-mail. Since Windows normally hides file extensions, detecting file endings is difficult unless you change the settings to show file extensions.

To show file extensions, click on the "My Computer" icon, click on "Tools", click on "Folder Options", click on "View", make sure the box for "Hide extensions for known file types" is unchecked.
