notifications for security issues' for Microsoft Office 2013 (at least) on Windows hosts.
The setting controls whether Office applications notify users when potentially unsafe features or
content are detected, or whether such features or content are silently disabled without notification.
The Message Bar in Office applications is used to identify security issues, such as unsigned macros
or potentially unsafe add-ins. When such issues are detected, the application disables the unsafe
feature or content and displays the Message Bar at the top of the active window. The Message Bar
informs the users about the nature of the security issue and, in some cases, provides the users with
an option to enable the potentially unsafe feature or content, which could harm the users computer.");
