Macro security levels in addition to anti-virus software are a primary defense against
malicious code and viruses that can be executed in Microsoft Office products. You should
use a High macro security level for most situations because a lower level will increase
your vulnerability to malicious attack.
Macros, whether you purchase, write or record them, can be exceptionally useful and

automatically disabled at the high macro security levels.
