Microsoft Excel 2000 SYLK File Security Update

Microsoft has released a patch for a security flaw in Excel 2000. When symbolic link (SYLK) files containing macros are opened in Excel 2000, users do not receive the usual macro warning dialog box. These macros could potentially delete files or perform other malicious acts on a computer. This patch corrects the SYLK file vulnerability by displaying the macro warning dialog box whenever you open an SYLK file containing macros. Visit Microsoft Office Update for more information and download instructions.
