Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - Kaspersky Reports Trojan (Zbot); Word, Other Progs Won't Run

The MS Office Update website says "Note that the Office Update site does not check for Office 97 updates." So, if is broken by a security update (which would explain it suddenly stopping, I guess) I'll need to look for an alternative to Word '97, yes?

Two new things:

1) During a reboot last evening, while attempting to get Word reinstalled, I got a message "Generic Host Process for Win32 Services has encountered a problem and needs to close". This was before the desktop appeared. It didn't happen on subsequent reboots.

2) I got a new threat notification from a-squared this morning: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires II\UNINSTAL.EXE detected: Email-Worm.Win32.Luder.e!A2" but I suspect it is a false positive, from a Google search.
