How to remove macro virus from Office Applications
by Dee » Fri, 22 Aug 2003 04:19:12 GMT
Have Windows 98, Office 2000. Appears I have macro virus.
Cannot open Word, Excel or Powerpoint, or Norton AntiVirus.
When attempting to open documents, get error message:
"Normal.dot still infected, do you want to delete?" Have
deleted several times, have changed name to Normal.old,
have tried to open documents and select Macro from Tools
menu, but cannot "delete" from Macro menu. Have tried
everything. Have downloaded several virus tool removals
from online Norton AntiVirus.
What else can I do?

this resolves the problem.

1.Macro Virus in MS Word - Office XP Pro
I have all the symptoms of a macro virus in Word on my XP Professional computer running MS Office XP. When ever I try to open any file in Word on this computer or from My USB stick I am told that the file is not avaible. If I take the USB stick to another computer running Office 2003 I have no problem to open the doc. I have done virus scans with Norton and AVG and Trend Micro and all tell me my computer is fine. I spent 2 hours with Microsoft on the phone yesterday and got alot of different suggestions to try but nothing worked as well. Does any one know if I will have to format my hard drive to get rid of this macro virus... I have all my service packs and windows updates
2.Norton Anti-Virus says my office 2007 word docs have a VIRUS
I am not able to open any documents that I send, at least with Yahoo, because
Norton Anti-Virus says they are infected. I have not yet tried to send
documents to email addresses outside Yahoo, but then since most of my and my
colleagues email is via Yahoo, I have a big problem with this. Can anyone
help?
3.Application.CustomizationContext = Application.Customization context is removing my doc's toolbars
Hi,
If I create a new document based on a template with toolbars, and then
execute the following line of code, my toolbars disappear:
Application.CustomizationContext = Application.CustomizationContext
I've tried this with Word 97-2003. I simply opened a document, added
a custom toolbar, saved the document as a template, closed Word and
restarted it, created a new document based on my template (my toolbar
appears, as you'd expect), and then executed this line of code in VBA.
Originally this was found when I had code that cached the original
Application.CustomizationContext, loaded an addin, set the
CustomizationContext to my addin, and then tried to set the
Application.CustomizationContext back to its original value. So then
I simplified my coding logic and came up with this.
Does anyone know what's going on here? Perhaps I'm not understanding
the CustomizationContext too well, or global templates, or something
like that--I'm relatively green at Word automation. Still, it seems
odd to me that this code should have such a side-effect.
Thanks for any help.
