3rd Security Flaw Found In XL
Could be that Word documents with code in them are relatively rare when
compared to the number of Excel files that contain some kind of macro or other. I'm pretty morbidly cautious about Word documents with macros myself, but not so much so with Excel files although I run with Macro Security at Medium. Since I prefer to code rather than learn all the intricacies of worksheet functions, I'm constantly nagged when opening my own workbooks - but consider it worth it in the long run. Oddly enough (knocks on wood) the only malware that's ever gotten onto one of my systems was a Word Macro virus back years ago. Luckily it's only goal in life was to spread itself around without actually doing any damage. Got that one in a file sent to me by my supervisor for review - and he'd gotten it off of a U.S. Government web page as a download! "RagDyeR" wrote: Wonder why they don't pick on Word?
