![]() This was typed to the Camino browser, because now my FF is all but unusable. I made the mistake of deciding to give it a try on my Mac Powerbook (10.3.9). and finally learn how to uninstall these damned things. Of course I pulled that Disinfectant version number out of my ass but for some reason I suspect it is accurate. a bit of convincing to get them to fire up an antivirus program that scans Word files for such macros and then "Holy shit! this thing is all over my system!" How little things change sometimes. then after explaining that my Mac at best was functioning as a kind of typhoid mary for viruses that didn't have any impact on the system I'd hear, "oh, so it's nothing to worry about then". The reactions I would get from windows users is first a smug "Hah! You told me macs didn't have any virus problems". The Mac version of Word didn't play macros automatically and warned that there was a suspicious one, and Disinfectant 3.7 could identify them. I used a Mac at the time and had numerous instances of identifying viruses in Word macros sent to me by windows users.
