That thought came across my mind (of course) after I sent the mail! I would
think that it should do that anyway when doing a full scan. <shrug> I know
in AVG it has a "check macros" setting, but not the VBA specifically. I just
looked in NAV 2002 (part of SystemWorks Pro 2002) and it also has a plug in
for office 2000 or office XP so I guess I'm covered. <shrug> I think (not
certain) that the looking out for malicious scripts may be the VBA?
