Hi All,

Every Excel add-in (and even the Excel games downloaded from MrExcel), are supposedly containing a range of viruses as detected by Sophos Anti Virus (most up to date version supplied by the university IT).
Other AV software is not detecting these viruses.
Sophos won't even attempt to open any file containing a virus and doesn't give the option of openning the file at your own risk. Causing many headaches.
Any obvious reason for why this is occurring as everything is being downloaded from reputable sites?

Can Excel fill bagel flavors?
You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
