Abstract

Once before there was a business profit speed breaker called Macro Virus, and today it is still prevalent to a lesser extent, even though; Microsoft did do something about it, to where it is under control, but; still very much around. (Brightub articles 2011) .explains the well knows macro virus was a stark reminder of its disastrous power.

In today’s world of technology computer viruses attack the software of a computer- the operating system usually attacks the software. (Microsoft /TechNet 2011), states the macro virus is known as a written virus in the internal macro language of applications. In some cases macro virus can cause no damage to the data, however; in other cases, macros viruses have been written that can cause damage to your work. This paper explains. What macro viruses are? How they spread. What affect they have? How to avoid a macro virus How to protect your computer

What are Macro viruses…..?

A macro virus is a computer infraction written in macro language, which is commonly built into word processing applications. (Goggle 2011, pg., 1) In general, Marcos viruses are a series of commands and executions that help automate specific tasks. Regardless of how many they create, they must be executed by a system that is able to interpret stored commands. There are some macro systems that are actually self-contained utilities while others are built into more advanced applications for users to easily repeat a sequence of commands or enable a programmer to customize the application to suite the user’s needs. (Marti, 2011 pg.1) explains while there is no concrete definition of a computer virus, some if not all will agree that it refers to an executable code, (programming language), that, when the run, will attach to or infects other files or applications in the host computer in an effort to reproduce and or cause disruption.

Some viruses are very serious, causing files to...
