Re: dangerous WORD macros



Up-to-date virus protection software will catch Word Macro Viruses.
These viruses can affect your Word program (and possibly other Microsoft
programs?), but will not erase your hard drive or anything as destructive
as that.

So...can I take that to mean it is no longer wise to open Word documents
that are attached to email?
