Hi Deon!
Answering a message from Deon Attard to All:
 DA>     I have not been following this area at all.  At uni today we were
 DA> warned about the "Concept" virus, which is some sort of a word 6.0
 DA> macro virus.  Can someone tell me a bit about the macro virus's and
 DA> how I can detect them before  opening documents.  Is there a sure
 DA> fire virus scanner that I can trust?  Or is the only way to avoid it,
 DA> to save my files in RTF format or something other than .DOC
Try F/WIN. It's imho the best you can get for finding and destroying Word 
macro-viruses. You'll find it under FWIN403?.ZIP. The "?" means "E" or "G" 
for the english or the german version.
Greetings from Wiesmoor (Germany)
