NetShield scans files embedded within Microsoft Office files, including Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files. NetShield can detect macro virus infections in password-protected Microsoft Word 97 files in all languages that Word supports. If an infecting virus plants its own password in a
password-protected Word 97 file, NetShield cleans the file and removes the password that the virus planted. If, on the other hand, the infecting virus cannot plant its own password, NetShield cleans the password-protected Word 97 file without disturbing its user-assigned password.
NetShield now allows you to use the -extensions option to choose files to scan based on their filename extensions.
