Default 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.
