  Microsoft Office products. When a file infected
  with this type is executed, the virus searches
  for other similar files and infects them too.

  damage any of the system files but have the
  ability to destroy your data within a Word or
  Excel files by writing malicious codes into them.
  Although, the preferred automated approach to

5

• If you experience the symptoms described above,
  or if you suspect that you have a macro virus
  that is not described in this article, follow
  these steps to delete the suspect macro and to
  correct affected document.

6

• Open the infected document. Do not activate macro
  when prompted with the warning message.
• Under the View tab in the ribbon, click on the
  Macro button and then choose View Macros. Next,
  click on Organizer

7

• Under Macro projects item available drop down
  menu, select the infected document. This will
  list all macros embedded within the document.

8

• At this point, you can select which macros to
  delete and which to keep provided you can
  recognize the malicious macros. If not, delete
  all macros by using the Delete button. (Tip to
  select the entire list, click the first macro,
  scroll to the bottom, press SHIFT and click the
  last macro.)

9

• Your document is now free of macro viruses. Save
  the document as a new file and delete the
  infected document from your hard disk.

10

• However, if you have opened the document before
  and turned on macros, it is possible that the
  macro has infected the Normal global template
  from which it will re-infect all Word documents
  that you open or create in Microsoft Word. So,
  before you close the Organizer, select
  Normal.dotm from the drop down menu and delete
  any macro from the Normal file you didnt create.

11

• If you have never created macros before and you
  see a number of macros in Normal.dotm, then you
  can be almost sure that those were added by the
  virus.

12

• Another way to remove an infected Normal.dotm
  file is to simply delete it from the disk.
  Microsoft Word will recreate the normal file when
  you open a new Word document. This will however
  remove any macros you created.

• The normal.dotm file is located in
  C\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Temp
