How Does this Affect Me?. Macros are simple programs that are used to repeat commands and
keystrokes within another program. A macro can be invoked (run) with a simple command that you
assign, such as [ctrl]+[shift]+[r]. Some viruses are macro viruses and are hidden within a document.
When you open an infected document, the macro virus runs. A macro virus can save itself to other files
(such as the Normal template) and can potentially infect all of your files. If a user on another computer
opens the infected file, the virus can spread to their computer as well.
What Do I Need to Do?. Set the Microsoft Word macro security level as follows:
1 Open Word.
2 Select Tools>>Macro>>Security>>Security Level tab.
3 Select High, Medium, or Low.
4 Click ok.
