[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 753327, member: 32260"] This is a very strong protection. It disables totally the macros in all MS Office applications. It is also in HKLM Registry hive, so cannot be reverted by non-elevated malware/exploit. WD ASR is also strong, but macros can still be run. If one would try to compare VBA to PowerShell, then ASR is on the level of Constrained Language Mode and VBAOFF is like blocking System.Management.Automation.dll. . But, if you have blocked macros in MS Office via Trust Center, then it is also OK (if you are cautious) - the main difference is that this setting can be changed by non-elevated malware/exploit. Furthermore, the inexperienced user can easily press the button in MS Office to allow macros for the infected document. [/QUOTE]
