Configure security settings for macros in Excel 2008
Excel 2008 includes specific settings that help you control how users are notified of potentially
unsafe macros. You cannot enable or disable macros or prevent encrypted macros from being
scanned for viruses. You can only set notification options that will warn users about macros.
After you configure notification options for macros in preferences, you can deploy the settings to
user computers. However, you should warn users about the risks associated with changing any
default security settings because their changes may override the settings that you have specified.
