I know that macro viruses were the most common threat back in 1996 or
so, but are there really any macro viruses nowadays?

I've been having a discussion about the macro security in Excel, which
is a complete pain when someone with their setting on High simply
doesn't know that anything was meant to happen.

My guess is that it's dealing with an out of date problem, like the
way that anti virus software offers to quarantine and repair worms
(why would you want to repair a worm?).

However, if there are any genuine macro threats, I'd be interested to
know.

Thanks.
