A new and  destructive Word Macro Virus has been identified!!!


Just a quickie.

This has probably been covered here before, but...

To disable the Auto* macros in MSWord6, which 'Concept'+'MDMA' rely on, do
the following. (The method in the help file/manual does not work entirely)


1. Make a new macro
Tools -> Macro -> <Call it something> -> Edit

Sub Main
    DisableAutoMacros
End Sub


2. Save it
File -> Close -> <say yes to save> <store in global template>


3. Edit the progman/start menu entry and add
   "/m What You Called it"
   (minus the quotes) to the command line section.
