Macro Security
I'm confused about this issue. I read the following in Word Help:
Security Because macros can contain viruses, be careful about running them. Take the following precautions: run up-to-date antivirus software on your computer; set your macro security level to high; clear the Trust all installed add-ins and templates check box; use digital signatures; maintain a list of trusted publishers. It also instructed me how to "remove" a macro publisher from the Trusted list. So I cleared the indicated checkbox and deleted two "trusted publishers," (both Gateway and both "expired"). Then when I opened an old document I got a pop-up asking if I wanted to enable or disable a macro that this document "contained." It suggested that if I "disabled," I might have trouble with the document. So I clicke "enable." The "publisher" in this case was Microsoft--though the permission installed showed that it "expired" in November, 2003! My question is, since I know nothing of macros and have no interest in using them, is it safe for me to refuse to accept any? |
