1 vote to remove it! IF it is that fairly rare breed of macro virus,
that means you will be warning a user who, it seems, cannot even keep
their virus scanner up to date on their machine. I have only seen 1
macro virus in 3 years, and that was on a file recovery side job for
someone who had the machine sitting for a while and wanted their thesis
files recovered.
