Thanks for the warning.

The macro contained is supposedly to fight against a known virus. I understand this was inserted in to the doc. by McAfee. Here is an excerpt from the macro. This is copied as is and not edited in any way. If you think this is a hoax and a virus masquerading, please let me know. As far as our development and deployment process is concerned, we build the final version of software on a machine that is not connected to any outside source and the environment is completely placed under configuration management.

I am interested in your findings. Thanks for the warning.
