FYI:
If you receive an error "Cannot Use Object Linking and Embedding" when opening files in either excel or word, While this may be a symptom of the MSBlast virus, I have found that rebooting to Safe Mode and then rebooting back normal clears this out. I have seen about 7 users so far in my network that have had this in the last 3 days. I hope this helps.

Right on Eric! I can confirm that this does indeed work. Several of my users had this happening and Eric's method did the trick. So much for the MSKB in this case! Thanks again!
