Hello, I have an Excel sheet that runs an important business process which uses a Microsoft VBA macro to access Outlook.
As soon as this line runs:
Dim OutApp As Outlook.Application
Malwarebytes identifies it as an exploit and terminates Excel. Below is the log.
I tried using the "allow list" and "exclude from all detections"(on both the file and folder). But Malware bytes keeps identifying it as an exploit and terminating it.
The only way to stop it is to turn off the exploit detection (which, of course, isn't a good idea).
How do I get by this to be able to run the Excel sheet?
Thanks.
