  2. Macro virus is a mini program that embeds itself to the applications of common use, particularly Microsoft Office products. When a file infected with this type is executed, the virus searches for other similar files and infects them too.

  3. It is to be noted that Macro virus does not 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 remove this infection is through an antivirus, this editorial comprehends a manual technique to do so. Read the given instructions to get rid of Macro Virus systematically.

  4. How to Delete the Macro and Recover the Document

  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 didn’t 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.

  13. The normal.dotm file is located in C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates
