Fred Derf Veteran Posted February 17, 2005 Veteran Share Posted February 17, 2005 I would not assume it to be safe. Word and Excel files can be affected by macro viruses. I don't see why PowerPoint would be any different.

rmorris003 Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 txt and pps can have viruses they will just be renamed to those extensions. Also if anyone remembers irc has lots of txt and pps viruses when you join channels, some channels will have these not all. People will send you either an onjoin file or an onjoin message to click a link and you will get a virus like that.
