The Word document viruses are a serious threat to network security. One 
slight modification to an existing version (which is available with full 
source code within the document) can turn it into a file-deleting monstor. 
I'm this " " close to disabling macro execution in Word completely, and I 
blame Microsoft for this security hole. They are always LAST to think about 
security. Off the rant, back to the solution.
In addition to full daily backups, I run F-Prot Professional for Netware on 
the server, which automatically quarantines infected files and scans all disk 
writes (it currently does not clean macro viruses), and F-Prot and F-Macro on 
the workstations and server directories. If I remove any one of these 
components, Word macros start cropping up again. F-Prot comes with real-time 
scanning under Windows, but I found too many incompatibilities introduced and 
was forced to disable it system-wide.
McAfee, Symantec and IBM were too slow in responding to the macro (and 
subsequently Hare) problems to suit my tastes. For 25 users, you can expect 
to shell out about a grand for an unattended, server-based virus scanner.
