What is a Macro Virus?

A macro virus is a computer virus that resides in a macro of a document or template. Once such a document is opened, the macros in it are executed, and the macro virus is activated, transferred to the computer, and resides on the Normal template. From then on, all auto-saved documents will be "infected" with this macro virus, and if other users open the infected file, the macro virus will be transferred to his computer.

If a document contains a macro virus, we say that this document is infected with a macro virus; if the template in the WORD system contains a macro virus, we say that the WORD system is infected with a macro virus.

Elimination of Macro Virus "Sequelae"

Macro virus, a new type of virus that infects WORD files, represented by "Taiwan No. 1", invades computers. Many people's virus-infected files are saved as a template after anti-virus (or manual, or anti-virus software). This results in the "Save As" command being invalid, that is, the file cannot be converted to another file format (such as TXT). In fact, this is the "sequelae" left by the macro virus, and it should be removed. Let's talk about how to remove this "sequelae".

After a DOC file is infected by a macro virus, its attributes will inevitably be changed to templates instead of documents (although the extension is still DOC in form). In this case, you can follow the steps below:

1. Open the file. 2. Select everything and copy to clipboard. 3. Close the file. 4. Create a new DOC file (the Normal template should be clean before). 5. Paste the contents of the clipboard. 6. Save as the original file name (overwrite the original template attribute file).

After completion, the "Save As" command of the document can be used normally, and the "sequelae" of the macro virus has been removed. Follow this procedure for all files that have been infected. Finally, I would like to say that when removing macro viruses, if there are too many infected files, manual methods will be very tedious, and you can also use antivirus software to remove them. ^[2]
