When I try to open a word doc, I get a 'preparing to install' Windowns Installer pop-up. Then I'm told it can't install ('This update package could not be opened ...')
This happened for the first time when attempting to open an email attachment yesterday, so I'm wondering whether this is a (/my first ever) virus. What should I do ?!

If you are using Office 2003, also be aware that you have to be connected to the internet to activate the product.
