Are you using macros as part of your Microsoft Access, Excel or Word processes? LTS would like to know!
It was recently discovered that Microsoft macros could be exploited; your computer could be taken over for malicious means if you are using macros in Microsoft products. The way to be protected is to either not use macros at all, or to have macros ‘signed’. A signed macro simply means that the macro has been certified to be safe to use. Once the certification process is complete, the macro may be used.
LTS would like to be able to provide signed certificates to all needed macros so that they may be used safely.
Please contact us at asklts@missouri.edu or 884-6404 so we may start the process of securing your work.
