Re: Can we disable macro security using Visual Basic for Applications
Look, those who provide most of the answers here are generally responsible
people. Even if we happen to know how to do what you are asking (and as it
happens, I don't), it is hardly likely that we would publisg a mechanism
that would be of use in spreading viruses.
In any case, Nometz must initially be running something other than VBA,
because if it were VBA, it wouldn't get the chance to execute in the first
place in order to make the changes to security that allow it to propagate.
If you need a specific macro or template to be given execution rights, use
"Digital Certificate for VBA Projects" in Microsoft Office Tools to create
a digital certificate, and apply the certificate to your template. Then
macros from that template then will run on your PC without triggering the
macro warning.

Re: Can we disable macro security using Visual Basic for Applications
Hi oc9ine,
One thing you can be sure of is that the virus wasn't using vba to change the macro security level.
To be sure, the security settings can be modified programmatically, but not using vba in Word when the Word macro security settings
are set to 'high' - unless it's being run from a trusted location. The reason is simple: if you load a document containing a macro,
Word checks the security settings before allowing the macro to run. Hence there's no way for a security-setting-change macro to run
when the security settings are set to 'high' - unless it's being run from a trusted location (in which case, why bother).
