Not the ones I've thrown at it (and this is the 2.53 version).
Nope... I use F-Macro v2.x now. Works like a charm. Where I work, we
see over 300 infected documents per day, and running F-MACRO on the servers
seems to eliminate them all. Also running it on the user's C:\ drives and
their network drives cleans them up as well. Over 40,000 messages/documents
are sent back and forth from the facility per day, and F-MACRO catches them
all. McAfee didn't catch a lot of them...
But in a lightly infected environment, maybe it works fine on the
older macros. I've seen (and sent samples) of macros that aren't even out "in
the wild" yet, like Smiley.C, and Colors.de.AG, and so on. This is what the
heuristic scans "detected" them as, but were unable to clean them. /REMNANTS
seems to work in a lot of situations for that...
