How To Share Large Files Without Attaching Them

Posted by Jonh on Monday, November 3, 2008

I am going to discuss about how to send large file via email. It is also provide Outlook Support for sending large email file. I realized that a lot of people are trying to send some pretty large files through e-mail. Putting any issues with your e-mail service provider’s limits on large messages aside, sending large attachments through e-mail is still a bad idea for a number of reasons:

* Your recipients might not be able to receive your large files: While your e-mail server may allow you to send a large attachment, your recipient’s e-mail server might reject the message.
* Your e-mail might put your recipients’ mailbox over quota: Sending a large attachment in e-mail might put your recipient’s mailbox over the maximum amount of e-mail data they can have in their mailbox, preventing them from receiving other messages.
* Your e-mail might put your own mailbox over quota: Since each e-mail you send is retained in your sent items folder, sending large attachments to other people counts against your mailbox quota as well, which could put you over your own quota and prevent you from receiving e-mail.
* Attachment Bloat: When a file is attached to e-mail, it has to be encoded to be sent in the e-mail. This encoding process causes attached files to become 1.37 times larger than they were on your computer. For example, if you send a 10MB file through e-mail, you’ll actually send 13MB of data.
* As soon as you send it, your files will probably be out of date: It often happens that you send a file and as soon as you send it, you realize you forgot to add that one important sentence or to make that one change. Once you’ve sent it, it is too late to make an update. Your recipients’ copies will always be stale. In addition, by sending out your files as attachments, you are creating additional copies which may take on a life of their own.

Fortunately, there are a lot of alternatives for sending files to people over the Internet which avoid these problems while making sure your files get to the destination safely and securely. Depending on the type of files you want to send, the following are some of the options available to you.

All of these alternatives basically boil down to:

Put your files in a shared location and then send a link.

Sending E-mail Inside Your Organization/Company

Sharing files with others inside your organization can be accomplished in a number of ways.
Documents: Use SharePoint

If your organization uses Office SharePoint Server and provides you with a My Site you can upload your files to your My Site’s Shared Documents library, and then include a link to the file in your e-mail message. Even if your organization doesn’t provide a My Site for you, there still may be a SharePoint document library where you can upload the file and send a link. (Ask your resident IT Professional if you have a SharePoint Site you can use.)

A side benefit is that if your recipients will always have access to the latest version, instead of a stale attachment.

Copying a link from SharePoint can be a little tricky. When you have the SharePoint document library to which you’ve uploaded your file open, right click on the link to the document, and select Copy Shortcut. Then you can paste the shortcut into your e-mail and send it.

Documents: No SharePoint? Use a Shared File Server

If your organization doesn’t have SharePoint, you may have a shared file server or other location where you can copy the file and allow others to access the file without needing to send it through e-mail.
Sending Personal E-mail (i.e. outside your organization/company)

If you want to send files to people outside your organization, or you use Outlook at home or school, there are lots of other ways to share files, depending on the type of file.
Documents: Use an Office Live Workspace or Windows Live SkyDrive

If you don’t have SharePoint in your organization or are using Outlook outside of work, you can get some of the benefits of SharePoint by signing up for a free Office Live Workspace. With a Workspace, you can access and store files for yourself or share documents with other people and collaborate directly in your Workspace.

If you don’t need the full power of a Workspace, consider using a file sharing website that lets you upload any file and share those files with other people. For example, using Windows Live SkyDrive you can upload up to 5GB of files for yourself, to share with other people, or share with everyone.
Pictures: Use Photo Sharing Sites

If you are sending pictures to someone, consider resizing those pictures before you send them. With modern digital cameras, each picture can be 3MB or more when you download them from your camera. Consider reducing the size of your pictures and then sending them through e-mail. You can find out more information on how to have Outlook automatically resize your pictures for you on Office Online.

If you don’t want to resize your pictures, you can use any number of photo sharing websites where you can upload your pictures and then send a link to them in an e-mail message. For example, you could use Windows Live Spaces, Flickr, or SmugMug.
Videos: Use Video Sharing Sites

With video files, I highly recommend uploading video clips to a video sharing website or a general file sharing website. If your video is something you wouldn’t mind anyone seeing, you could upload it to a video sharing website like MSN Video or YouTube. If you want to keep your video private, consider treating the video like a document and using a method described in the Documents section above.

These are just some of the options you have for sending files to other people instead of attaching them to an e-mail. When you use one of these alternative ways to share files with your friends, family, or colleagues you help them keep your mailbox and theirs clean, and you can be sure that your file will be available no matter what service or program your e-mail recipients are using.

Outlook 2002 Product Description

Posted by Jonh on Wednesday, September 24, 2008

Outlook version 2002 makes working with e-mail, tasks, contacts, and appointments more intuitive without requiring users to learn new ways of accomplishing their tasks or spend time searching for the right tools. A variety of security enhancements have been included in Outlook version 2002 to help users feel more secure when working with e-mail. Setup and configuration have been made simpler with such enhancements as single-integrated e-mail mode, customization enhancements in the Custom Installation Wizard, and a simplified interface for setting up e-mail accounts.

New features include AutoComplete Addressing: As a user enters an e-mail address, Outlook automatically recognizes it and completes the name based on previously sent e-mail to the recipient. Users can also now access e-mail from their Hotmail accounts (or other Internet mail providers) directly from within Outlook. Users with multiple e-mail accounts can choose on a per-message basis what account to use to send their message. With Word as the default e-mail editor, users can take advantage of the smart tags that are available in Word (including AutoCorrect, paste options, address, name, date, or customizable smart tags). Smart tags are context-sensitive buttons that give users the options and information they need at the time they need them.

Users can now easily change between different mail formats on the fly and on a per-message basis. By giving users the option to switch between HTML, rich text, or plain text, they can more easily format their message so that the recipient can have the best viewing experience. Mailbox Cleanup allows users to view the size of their mailbox, search for files by size or by age, and then delete, move, or archive those files to clear up space. Exchange users can also automatically be notified when they are approaching their mailbox size limit and choose from the above options for cleaning up their mailbox. And Outlook can now automatically clean up plain text e-mail formatting that often contains extra line breaks that make the message difficult to read. Outlook automatically removes the extra line breaks (an option exists to turn this off as well) when a user opens an e-mail message, previews the message in the preview pane, or prints the message so that it is easier to read.

The Benefits of Microsoft Outlook

Posted by Jonh on Friday, September 12, 2008

Microsoft Outlook is great when you are using a traditional email address from your ISP. However, it is not so great if you are using a web based email address and you are using Vista. It seems pretty confusing, and it is, because before Vista people had no problems at all linking their web based email addresses like hotmail, AOL, and Gmail to their Outlook Express. However, the new Outlook and Vista do not work that way so you will need to keep that in mind. Some people find that Outlook 2007 training is worthwhile in order to learn a little more about the process and what all has been changed. More than likely you will appreciate the time and effort you put into taking Vista training and Outlook training because it will prepare you to use these programs effectively. So many changes have been made that without training you will feel completely lost the first fewer days.
There are many benefits to programs like Microsoft Outlook, but you should look at the software and consider what is in your best interest to install. For example, if you install the Office 2008 suite you will need to take tutorials on the 2008 editions of all the programs, but Word 2007 training would not help you very much. As a result it is important to understand what programs you will install and the ones you will use the most.
Most people like Microsoft Outlook because it allows them to keep copies of their sent and received messages for a long period of time. Also, it is easy to use Outlook because you can simply begin typing in a contact's name and their email address appears in the box. It is so easy to use and convenient and that is why so many people like it.
Of course, there are other benefits to Outlook as well. You can search all of your information really easy and fast. You will also appreciate the calendar where you can manage your information and your daily activities and events. It is easy to manage your shared information as well. There are also features to prevent malicious sites and junk email.
These are just a few of the benefits of Outlook. If you have been using a web based email program you will certainly enjoy the benefits of Microsoft Outlook.

How to create distribution list

Posted by Jonh on Thursday, August 28, 2008

A distribution list, also known as a mailing list, is a collection of email addresses. You can use distribution lists to send an email message to several people at one time. The list can contain a few addresses, or many.

All email systems at Indiana University provide ways to create, manage, and send to distribution lists. For example, you may use Exchange mailing lists to send mail to a group of people. For more information, see How do I send an email message to a group of people? Note that the commands, options, and capacities vary on each system. Furthermore, lists housed on specific systems are unavailable for shared use on other systems. It post provides Outlook Support for creating distribution list and how to manage distribution list. The following method is used to do it.

Create a distribution list using names in the Address Book

  1. On the File menu, point to New, and then click Distribution List.
  2. In the Name box, type a name.
  3. Click Select Members.
  4. In the Show names from the list, click the address book that contains the e-mail addresses you want in your distribution list.
  5. In the Type name or select from list box, type a name you want to include. In the list below, select the name, and then click Members. Do this for each person you want to add to the distribution list, and then click OK.

If you want to add a longer description of the distribution list, click the Notes tab, and then type the text.

The distribution list is saved in your Contacts folder by the name you give it.

Create a distribution list by copying names from an e-mail message

  1. In the e-mail message you want to copy the names from, select the names in the To or Cc box (To, Cc, and Bcc boxes: A message is sent to the recipients in the To box. Recipients in the Cc (carbon copy) and Bcc (blind carbon copy) boxes also get the message; however, the names of the recipients in the Bcc box aren't visible to other recipients.).
  2. On the Edit menu, click Copy.
  3. On the File menu, point to New, and then click Distribution List.
  4. In the Name box, type a name for the distribution list.
  5. Click Select Members.

Turn an Outlook item into another type of item

Posted by Jonh on Monday, August 4, 2008

You can also view an animated version of this procedure, Animation. I am discussing how to turn an Outlook item into another type. You can get outlook support through this post. I hope it is useful for the outlook users.
Has this happened to you? You've had a lengthy e-mail conversation and now you realize a face-to-face meeting is necessary. Instead of creating a new meeting request and then copying and pasting text from the e-mail message, you can use the Outlook AutoCreate feature to quickly create a meeting request and capture all the information in your e-mail thread. And best of all, AutoCreate lets you convert any item into an item of another type, such as a contact into a task or a note into an appointment.
Turn an Outlook item into another type of item
1. Drag the message onto the Calendar icon on the Outlook Bar.
2. Enter the location for the meeting, and then make any changes and select any additional options you want on the Appointment tab. (Relevant information from the message has already been added to fields in the new meeting request. The entire message appears in the meeting text box.)
3. On the Actions menu, click Invite Attendees.
4. Enter a name or names in the to box.
5. Click Send.
That's it. You've turned an e-mail message into a meeting. Now that you know how easy it is to use AutoCreate, see what other kinds of items you can create from existing items.
Note If you prefer menu commands, you can select the item and then click Copy to Folder on the Edit menu to create a new item.

How AutoRecover and AutoSave work

Posted by Jonh on Tuesday, July 29, 2008

The AutoRecover option (in these Microsoft Office programs: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, and Visio) and AutoSave option (in Microsoft Office Outlook) can help you avoid losing work in two ways:
• Your data is automatically saved If you enable Auto Recover or AutoSave, your file (such as a Microsoft Office Word document) or item (such as an Outlook Support and Outlook e-mail message) is automatically saved as often as you want. Therefore, if you have been working for a long time but forget to save a file or if your power goes out, the file you have been working on contains all or at least some of the work you have done since you last saved it.
• Your program state is automatically saved In Microsoft Office Excel, Microsoft Office Outlook, Microsoft Office PowerPoint, and Microsoft Office Word, there is an additional benefit to enabling AutoRecover or AutoSave. In these programs, if you enable this option, some aspects of the state of the program are recovered when the program is restarted after it closed abnormally.
For example, you are working on several Excel workbooks at the same time. Each file is open in a different window, with specific data visible in each window. In one of the workbooks, a cell is selected to help you keep track of which rows you already reviewed, and then Excel crashes. When you restart Excel, it opens the workbooks again and restores the windows to the way they were before Excel crashed.
Although not every aspect of your program's state can be recovered, in many cases, the Recovery feature can help you recover more quickly.

Posted by Jonh on Tuesday, July 8, 2008

Folders in the Mail Folders section of the Navigation Pane are listed alphabetically, which cannot be changed. But in Favorite Folders you can add as many folders as you like and arrange them in any order. The high visibility position at the top of the Navigation Pane makes Favorite Folders a great place for high priority folders. You can duplicate any of the mail folders in the Navigation Pane and, if you add enough folders to Favorite Folders, it can expand and become your main entry point to your mail folders.

If your other Microsoft Office Outlook folders, such as Calendar or Contacts, become less visible, you can always rely on the folder buttons at the bottom of the Navigation Pane to access your items in those folders

Try customizing Favorite Folders and find out if its flexibility enables you to arrange your mail folders the way that you want. For more options, see Customize the Navigation Pane. I hope that it is helpful for Outlook Support and given some steps to add or remove folder in favorite folder and rearrange favorite folder…

How to locate missing .msi files

Posted by Jonh on Wednesday, July 2, 2008

An .msi file is a database of all the files, settings, and configuration information for the associated application. When you install Office on your computer, the .msi file is saved in a hidden folder. Without this file, Windows Installer cannot update your configuration, install optional features, or apply software updates. Office cannot be installed, repaired, or updated if the .msi file is not found.
Why is the .msi file missing?
The most likely reason for Windows Installer to require the installation CD is because the saved version of the .msi file for Office has been inadvertently or deliberately deleted from your computer. It is also possible that the file is damaged or corrupted.
Occasionally, changing the drive letters associated with partitions on your hard disk can cause this problem to occur — such as changing drive C: to a different letter or moving the hard disk drive from one computer to another. Other possible causes are a damaged or corrupted hard disk or registry file.
What to do when prompted for a missing .msi file
If you are prompted for the location of a missing .msi file, you must provide the original installation CD used to install Office on your computer.
1. Make sure that you have inserted your Office installation CD into the CD drive of your computer.
If you installed Office from a network, browse to the network location from which you installed Office.
2. Click Retry.
In most cases, these steps should resolve the problem and Office can complete the installation and configuration of the needed component.
Office 2003, Office XP, and Office 2000 provide the Detect and Repair command. You can find the Detect and Repair command on the Help menu of almost all Office programs. Using this command corrects identifiable problems such as missing files, corrupt files, registry omissions, or damaged registry entries. It replaces the .msi file if it was deleted, damaged, or is the wrong version. Using the Detect and Repair command usually requires you to provide the installation CD for the version of Office currently installed on your computer.
How to prevent similar problems in the future
To help avoid this problem in the future, use the following guidelines:
• Do not delete hidden folders or files from any drives on your computer.
• Do not move drives or change their disk identifier (for example, C: to D:).
• Install all needed applications as Run from My Computer instead of using Install on Demand (available from custom installation within Setup).
• Occasionally run the Windows Disk Defragment program to repair cross-linked files, recover lost clusters, and remap bad sectors on your hard disk. Any data present in a bad portion of the hard disk is usually lost and commonly associated with physical damage to the disk. This is most likely the result of high-vibration environments, such as the computer being struck, dropped, or kicked.
If you have Microsoft Windows XP as your operating system, consider using the System Restore option to restore your system to a previous configuration. Consult the Help and Support option of Windows XP for more information on System Restore. You can go for Computer Help and Outlook Support

Methods of verifying a password over a network

Posted by Jonh on Sunday, June 15, 2008

A variety of methods have been used to verify passwords in a network setting:

Simple transmission of the password

Passwords can be vulnerable to interception (i.e., "snooping") while being transmitted to the authenticating machine or person. If the password is carried as electrical signals on unsecured physical wiring between the user access point and the central system controlling the password database, it is subject to snooping by wiretapping methods. If it is carried as packetitzed data over the Internet, anyone able to watch the packets containing the logon information can snoop with a very low probability of detection.

An example of cleartext transmission of passwords is the original Wikipedia website. When you logged into your Wikipedia account, your username and password are sent from your computer's browser through the Internet as cleartext. Anyone could read them in transit and thereafter log into your account. More recently, Wikipedia has offered a secure login option, which, like many e-commerce sites, uses the SSL (TLS) cryptographic protocol to eliminate the cleartext transmission. But, because anyone can gain access to Wikipedia (without logging in at all), and then edit most articles, it can be argued that there is little need to encrypt these transmissions. Other websites (eg, banks and financial institutions) have quite different security requirements, and cleartext transmission of anything is clearly insecure in those contexts.

Another example of transmission vulnerability is email. Emailed passwords may be read by anyone with access to the transmission medium. Using client-side encryption will only protect transmission from the POP server to the client. Previous or subsequent relays of the email will not be protected and the email will be stored on multiple computers in cleartext.

Transmission through encrypted channels

The risk of interception of passwords sent over the Internet can be reduced by, among other approaches, using the Transport Layer Security (TLS, previously called SSL) feature built into many Internet browsers. Most browsers display a closed lock icon when TLS is in use. See cryptography for other ways in which the passing of information can be made more secure.

Hash-based challenge-response methods

Unfortunately, there is a conflict between stored hashed-passwords and hash-based challenge-response authentication; the latter requires a client to prove to a server that he knows what the shared secret (i.e., password) is, and to do this, the server must be able to obtain the shared secret from its stored form. On Unix-type systems doing remote authentication, the shared secret usually becomes the hashed form and has the serious limitation of exposing passwords to offline guessing attacks.

Zero-knowledge password proofs

Rather than transmitting the password, password-authenticated key agreement systems can perform a zero-knowledge password proof, which proves knowledge of the password without exposing it.

Moving a step further, augmented systems for password-authenticated key agreement (e.g. AMP, B-SPEKE, PAK-Z, SRP-6) avoid both the conflict and limitation of hash-based methods; An augmented system allows a client to prove knowledge of the password to a server, where the server knows only a (not exactly) hashed password, and where the unhashed password is required to gain access.

What's new in Office Communities?

Posted by Jonh on Wednesday, June 4, 2008

Discussion groups continue to be a great forum for asking questions, getting answers to your questions, and answering questions others have asked. So how can the new features available in Office Communities make discussion groups even more useful for you? Here's a quick summary:

  • Sign in By participating in Communities, you have the chance to build a reputation, and to help build the reputations of others. Signing in helps establish a level of trust in Communities. Be sure to sign in for the best experience.
  • Sign up to be notified Find an interesting thread you'd like to read when others respond? You can sign up to receive e-mail notification when someone responds to a specific thread.
  • Rate a post as helpful When you read a particular post, you get to weigh in; was the information in the post helpful? Or not? Your vote counts to let others know that information in a post is helpful and worth reading.
  • Rate a post as an answer When someone answers a question you asked, you get to rate the response. Did it answer your question? Or not? This feature also allows you and others to show only answered questions in a discussion group.
  • Show specific threads Not only can you search by keyword to find the threads that have the information you need, but you can also show only threads with questions that have an answer, or only threads with posts rated as helpful. This helps you to get right to the information you need.
  • Build a reputation As you rate posts or answers as helpful, this builds the reputation of those who posted the information. Additionally, as you answer questions that others have, they can rate your posts and in doing so build your reputation.

Create custom holiday and event files

Posted by Jonh on Sunday, May 25, 2008

Outlook comes with predefined holidays. However, what if you want everyone on your team to display company holidays and events, such as corporate paydays and quarterly expense due dates, in their calendars? You can create your own custom holiday set and distribute it to other people on your team.

Tip Instead of creating custom holiday files, consider creating and sharing custom calendars. Find links to more information about sharing calendar information in the See also section.

Warning Modify the Outlook.hol file at your own risk. Microsoft provides this procedure "as is" without warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose.

Note If you add the same custom set of holidays again, you will get a duplicate set of the holidays in your calendar. Therefore, you should create a custom holiday set rather than customizing an existing set.

  1. Exit Outlook if it is running.
  2. In Microsoft Windows Explorer, locate the following file:
    drive:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office 12\LCID\outlook.hol
  3. Make a backup copy of the file.
  4. Using a text editor, such as Microsoft Notepad, open the Outlook.hol file.
  5. Press CTRL+END to position the insertion point at the end of the file.
  6. Type a new header and custom events by using the format described below.
[Country or Description] ###

Holiday or event description, yyyy/mm/dd

Holiday or event description, yyyy/mm/dd

In the above format,

###

is the total number of items listed for a particular country/region or description. There is a space between the closing bracket and the number, as well as a carriage return at the end of the line. On each holiday line, there are a comma and a space between the holiday description and the date, as well as a carriage return at the end of the line. For example:

[Expense Reports] 4
Q1 Expense Reports Due, 2007/04/15
Q2 Expense Reports Due, 2007/11/15
Q3 Expense Reports Due, 2007/12/15
Q4 Expense Reports Due, 2007/01/15

  1. Save and close Outlook.hol.

The next time you run Outlook, the new Expense Reports dates are available for adding to your calendar.

Distribute custom holiday and event files

You can distribute a customized holiday and event file to other people in the following ways:

  • Send an e-mail message with the Outlook.hol file attached.
  • Place the file in a commonly accessible location or shared drive on your network where other people can copy the file.

By default, no holidays are added to your calendar when you begin using Microsoft Office Outlook. I want to share my Experience with Microsoft Outlook Support, Computer Help and Technical Support

Outlook Mail Attachment security

Posted by Jonh on Tuesday, May 20, 2008

To prevent the spread of viruses from program files (considered a Level 1 threat), Microsoft Outlook automatically blocks attachments that contain file types that can run programs. These blocked file types include .exe, .bat, .com, .vbs, and .js. Your Inbox displays the paperclip icon in the Attachment column to let you know that the message has an attachment. A list of the blocked attachment files appears in the InfoBar at the top of the message.

If you try to send an attachment that has a file type extension that is on the Level 1 restricted list, you receive a message that other Outlook users may not be able to access this type of attachment.

Only an e-mail server administrator can change this default setting and unblock certain file types. This setting is often used on an organization's intranet, not on the Internet.

Data files, such as .doc, .xls, .ppt, and .txt files, are not blocked. However, you receive an Opening Mail Attachment message when you try to open an attachment.

This message gives you the opportunity to consider the safety of the file you are opening and a chance to save the file and scan it for viruses before opening it.

To be able to send any file type by using e-mail, you can use a third-party program, such as WinZip, to package files before you attach them to your e-mail message. WinZip can create a new Outlook message and attach the .zip package for you.

In your message, you can include instructions explaining how to extract the files from the package to make it easy for recipients to access the files.

Outlook Address Book security

Posted by Jonh on Wednesday, May 14, 2008

The Outlook Address Book is guarded programmatically. This helps to prevent another program from automatically accessing your Address Book or Contacts list or from sending messages on your behalf without your permission. It is very useful to allow some programs (like Microsoft ActiveSync® or Palm Desktop) to access your contact information so that you can synchronize your personal digital assistant (PDA). However, a virus or other malicious program file can use the same functionality to propagate itself. If a program attempts to access your Address Book, a warning appears on screen.

This message appears if a program tries to access your Address Book. In general, you cannot prevent this caution from appearing. However, check with your synchronization software vendor to see if recent updates to the vendor's software include interacting with Outlook in a trusted manner. This message is not displayed when Outlook interacts with trusted synchronization software.



  • Unless you clicked a command or started a program that is expected to interact with Outlook Address Book information or if you are just not sure, click No.
  • If you clicked a command or started a program that is expected to interact with Outlook Address Book information, select the Allow access for check box, and then specify the amount of time you grant access for.

Outlook security features

Posted by Jonh on Sunday, May 11, 2008

Outlook is designed to help protect your computer from viruses and junk e-mail messages. The following information focuses on the virus protection features in Microsoft Outlook.

Macro security

Outlook itself cannot detect whether a virus is present. Macro viruses are spread through attachments, not the e-mail message itself. Microsoft Office achieves macro virus protection by using the High macro security setting as the default. With the High setting, you can run only digitally signed macros from trusted sources or macros that you created yourself, as long as the installed add-ins and templates are trusted. Unsigned macros are automatically disabled.

Note Signing a macro is similar to getting a legal document notarized by a legal authority or getting your passport stamped by a government official. Electronic certificates are used to sign the macro code. Certificates are issued by a certificate authority, such as a bank, government, or software company, which should be trusted sources. For example, all macros that are pre-installed with Office are signed by the developers who created them using certificates issued by Microsoft that vouch for their authenticity.

If you change the macro security level to the less secure Medium setting, you automatically receive a warning each time you open a document that contains a macro. You can select an option in the Security Warning dialog box about whether to run the macro. Disable Macros is the default button.

Note If the security setting is set to Low, Outlook will not warn you before running a macro. Therefore, all macros are run automatically without your intervention. Because of the potential security risk, Microsoft does not recommend that you use the Low setting. I want to share my Experience with Microsoft Outlook and Computer Help

What is Macro viruses

Posted by Jonh on Tuesday, May 6, 2008

A macro is a series of commands and instructions that are grouped together as a single command to accomplish a task automatically. If you perform a task repeatedly in an application, you can automate the task by using a macro. You can store macros in documents, worksheets, or templates, which makes them available whenever a new file based on that template is created. For example, Microsoft Word stores user-recorded macros in the Normal template (Normal.dot) by default, so that they are available for use with every Word document. When you open the Word document, the macro runs. A macro virus is a virus program written in Microsoft Visual Basic® for Applications, the same macro language used in legitimate macros. A macro virus can also run automatically when you open a document unless there are safeguards in place. Most Microsoft Office programs display a confirmation dialog box when you choose to open a document that contains macros.

How do viruses spread?

The Melissa virus in March 1999 spread in the form of an e-mail message with an attached Word document that contained a macro virus. Anyone who opened the attachment triggered the virus. The virus would then send the document (and therefore itself) in an e-mail message to the first 50 people in the person's address book. The e-mail message contained a friendly note that included the person's name, so the recipient would open the document, thinking it was harmless. The virus would then create 50 new messages from the recipient's address book. As a result, the Melissa virus was the fastest-spreading virus ever seen and forced a number of large companies to shut down their e-mail systems.

The important thing to remember is that just because an e-mail message appears to come from someone you trust, this does not mean the file is safe or that the sender had anything to do with it. Also, keep in mind that when you share files with another user, the attached macro or script is included with the file. Therefore, be careful when you share files, and scan the files with an antivirus program before you open them. You can choose from many antivirus application vendors.

Important Before you scan Outlook e-mail messages, check with the antivirus program vendor to make sure it is compatible with Outlook. Some antivirus programs can cause problems with Microsoft Outlook. If want to protect your pc to unwanted programs (Virus).
