Default Excel Email Attachnent I sent had a virus?

The only way would be if the attachments you sent had a macro that ran when
the workbook was opened. If you don't have a macro in your workbook then
there cannot be any viruses.
If you set your macro security to medium under toolsmacrosecurity then
open this particular workbook you should get prompted to enable or disable
the macro. If you don't get that you don't have any macros and thus there
cannot be any virus.

I sent an email with two Excel Attahments. The recipient received it and
one
of the attachements had a virus. My email provider is MSN. I have Norton
Anti Virus on my computer and no virus has been detected on my computer.
How
would the virus get in the spreadsheet attachment? I'm not sure if I am in
the right Discussion Group. Any help would be appreciated
