For me, when I open an Excel file from our business partner, it will always open in protected view which limits the functions the document can do. I then have to tell it to open in regular view which closes the doc and reopens it, wasting my time.
But sometimes even doing that won't solve the problem. It will say I have to go into the doc's properties and mark it as "safe". That requires closing it yet again. Right clicking it in file explorer, and checking a box in the properties tab. Then I get to reopen it yet again.
And I have to do this nearly every single time. Fun stuff.
Microsoft office documents not running in protected mode can run arbitrary code on your computer. Given VBA that arbitrary code can pretty much access anything any installed application can.
There's a load of Office malware written that can infect all the documents on your system with keyloggers and password scrapers.
It's a pain in the ass yeah, but it exists to mitigate a very real risk.
It doesn't mitigate anything when it pops every single time. Microsoft on its own has rendered scary messages useless with how often they use them.
U would want to install a rat or do a browser token theft. Why bother with a keyloggers when u can steel access codes from the browser directly.
Thamks :3.. I can see why that would be annoying lol
What company do u work at? Cos one well placed email with a dodgy file attached could destroy the entire company.
