Microsoft Office Protected View - Rebounded - Feb 7, 2019
Hello, I'm wondering does this feature actually help prevent viruses from running in Microsoft Office applications?
RE: Microsoft Office Protected View - Faith Connors - Feb 7, 2019
it stops macros, so sort of.
but it won't magically patch the countless vulnerabilities that have been found in office products over the last few years.

Does it stop macros entirely, or does it just give a warning or disable them by default (with the prompt to enable them)?
For example, would it stop the majority of macro "exploit" builders sold here on hf?
