Symantec has designated the Trojan Backdoor.Ginwui, and it has designated the Word 2003 document Trojan.Mdropper.H.

The payload of the Word attachment appears to be a Trojan, but few details are available at this time. Opening the e-mail attachment displays a message, but it also opens a backdoor in the background, which then pings an IP address in Asia.
Opening the attachment in Word 2003 installs the Trojan. But in Word 2000, the attachment causes the program to crash instead, and it doesn't run the payload.
