It makes an instance of MS Word. It then gets a list of files and opens them in word. Looks like there's a password. Can't really tell; globals.

This function, can open up password protected word documents. It seems that you need to provide the password to the script. It's made with a specific scenario in mind, not a "I'll steal all important information to you" kind of mentality. But you only gave us a small portion of the snippet, and so we can say nothing about the rest.
