Office Macro Viruses

10th October 2019

A client runs some old versions of Office 2010 and rarely update for fear of breaking something. A familiar song. Using this procedure to test which versions and patch levels are vulnerable. And which AV products strip macros.

Windows 10 Defender; deletes doc when opening! (excessive)
Symantec; no warning, no block, no delete

LibreOffice 6.3; Macros disabled by default
M$ Word 2010; Macros disabled by default

M$ Office 2010 is end of life soon so upgrade.
