Directorys can be defined as the only place files contatian macros can work from.
Final is a simple anti-virus/anti-macro. Since all script files must be registed in one directory of a Openoffice file that is a zip file just have a script delete the directory Basic from every OpenOffice file and you have clean OpenOffice files. Yes you lose the macros but not the data. Note even renaming the directory inside the Zip will stop the macros.
Far simpler virus responce. Word being verry closed about there internal formats makes the problem hard to deal with.(Yes I do have a openoffice macro remove or disable system)
It does not take long using standard tools to create the script that either delete or renames the macro directory.
Could anyone tell me why you would need to get a Macro from a untrusted source(Email).
Microsoft Office offers the same option as OpenOffice expect Microsoft Office files are harder to clean.
Restore from backup hmm do we have infected files. With OpenOffice I can be sure that we don't have any infect OpenOffice files after replacing OpenOffice and striping the macros.
