Default remove macros

We have a virus like macro in many Excel files. We are unable to remove them
manually ('delete' button grayed out).

One solution was to copy the worksheets into a new file then proceed to
remove book.xlt in the xlstart folder. However there are many files and this
would be a daunting task.

1) Is it possible to search for Excel files that has the particular macros
(ie. based on creator name of macro)?

Alternatively I am also downloading software called 'Macro Remover' that is
supposed to remove all macros. However I am afraid that this may remove the
'good' macros.

Suggestion welcomed.
