Subject:Re: Help! Saving Word Documents From:Bruce Conway <bconway -at- ISLAND -dot- NET> Date:Mon, 14 Dec 1998 14:16:03 +0000
For example, this sounds alot like the Word Macro Virus to me. I could
be wrong, but (if using a PC) do a scan using Norton Antivirus (making
sure you have the latest virus definitions file).
If using a Mac, scan using SAM antivirus.
