Hi There,
I have to ask a question about a Word document that my Dad sent me. My Dad sent me a work document and it has something in it that I have never seen before.
When you open the document in Word and then select the formatting tool (show/hide formatting) there is a whole whack of text between the heading and the first picture in the document. It is sort of like hidden text that is only displayed with the show/hide formatting tool.
I would think that it would be some type of cookie data, but I am not sure. I thought I would ask you just in case some one has seen this before. It was a recipe for lamb Shank and the extra hidden data was all about bookmarks,and links to blog sites. I tried to copy and paste the text but I was unable to. The text was all bulleted and had links to Yahoo, Google, Digg, Facebook, Wikipedia – Social Bookamrking.
I ran it through a virus checker but it came up clean. Should I be concerned about some thing like this, and how can I make sure that attachments my staff get in the office don’t have anything like this in them that could be malicious.
In my office i am running Symantec Endpoint Protection that I make sure is updated every day, and I make sure that a check is done on every machine at least twice a week. Would that be enough within reason?
I would gladly upload it if someone wants to have a look at what i mean, i just don’t see if there is a place to upload files. Also if i’m correct the recipe is actually quite good.
