All the stuff they did with the Love Bug, they can now do when you visit a
web page. With new stuff in Office 2000, scripting on a webpage (an html
file) can open an office file for you and thus do just about any command the

desftop user can preform. The denizens at l0pht have set up a demonstration.

The below link takes you to the warning page that has a link to try see it
demonstrated.

Of course, none of this works if you have a computer that doesn't have VB
scripting, a C drive, or a registry.
