Word Macro Virus Checker Checker 97 replaces the in built and somewhat lacking macro virus protection offered by Microsoft with a much more robust generic checking system. If at anytime you wish to know the status, simply select Help / About / OK and Checker with display giving full information and advice. To install, download the zip file, and unzip into a any directory. Then simply open the 'Install Checker 97.doc' file, and follow the instructions. If no instructions appear, then manually execute the AutoOpen macro. Checker 97 chckr97.zip (100k) Checker 97 disables AutoMacros, alerts to the presence of macros, but has no additional removal capability. It is also compatible with Word 2000 as it shares the same macro language. This page last updated:
