That’s not a big problem. virus consists of only one macto and you can use one of the generic disinfection methods instead. The simplest generic approach that could be used for most macro viruses is to use for disinfection MS Word itself. In this case user needs to remove the autoOpen macro manually. To remove the autoOpen macro one need to go to the Tools menu, select option Macro, and highlight name autoOpen in the list of available macros. Then press Delete button. After that you need to save the file.
