Are you telling me all a virus has to do is run from XLSTART toovercome Excel macro security?
 
Thanks to Norman Jones for telling me the following.

Can anyone else confirm that, evidently, if a workbook resides in
Excel 2002's XLSTART auto startup directory, then Microflot overrides
what it calls "macro security" and cheerfully launches any Auto_Open
macro, with code written by Al F-ing Qaeda, therein?

Thanks.

Hi Baobob,

You refer to your thread:

Excel macro security fails in directory XLSTART

However you have chosen to interpret my response
in that thread and then rewrite it in very different terms.

For your addtional information, see:
