Please describe the problem
How do you know you have a problem, describe it to us
What is the file extension on the file
What version of Excel do you have, what version created the file.
What messages do you get
Did you ask the person who sent you the spreadsheet, they could
probably help you more than we can.

If you don't know the person who sent you the spreadsheet or
don't know why you got it -- you should probably not touch it.
There is no anti-virus program that is going to be up to date or
