Hey guys, is everyone forgetting that Microsquish put out a macro protection
script called ScanProt that scanned every document before it was opened looking for certain known 'macro virus' and warned you if the document contained
anything suspicous? I beleive it also compares your normal.dot against what
the doc had . This goes a long way toward _stopping_ an infected document from
doing any damage. Works very well. Have received a few _infected_ attachments
that were caught.
