Starting with early April 2022, Access, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio, and Word users will not be able to enable macro scripts inside untrusted documents that they downloaded from the internet. The change, which security researchers have been requesting for years, is expected to put a serious roadblock for malware gangs, which have relied on tricking users into enabling the execution of a macro script as a way to install malware on their systems. https://therecord.media/microsoft-blocks-internet-macros-by-default-in-five-office-applications/ Edited February 8, 2022 by itman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
