How are Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint Files treated in EMB?
All files which are created by these office programs on your computer can be written with no problem. Sometimes normally harmless files with extensions *.doc (Word), *.xls (Excel) or *.ppt (Powerpoint) can become dangerous when they contain so called macros. Most of the time these macros are also harmless, but in rare cases they can be dangerous too. In case files with these three extensions (among others) are downloaded from the Internet EMB’s FSM blocks them by default (they are NOT blocked if you create them yourself on your computer). You can either manually put “.do” and “.xl” into the Whitelist or copy files with these two extensions in a Special Folder in order NOT to have these files blocked by FSM. Please create either a new folder on a partition other than C: (if available) or a subfolder in main folder “Documents and Settings” and do NOT just put them in main folder “Documents and Settings” for security reasons.
