"Why did we get here????" popup
 

I have Microsoft Office Basic Edition Excel 2003. Whenever I start Excel,
an annoying popup window appears:

WHY DID WE GET HERE????

I can click on the OK button to close the popup, but I don't know what the
popup means or how to get rid of it permanently. This popup did not appear
until I wrote a macro for one of my Excel applications. Now the popup window
appears whenever I start Excel.

Thanks for your help.

Sounds like a virus to me. Have you used Windows Search to look for a file
containing this text?

It could be a workbook that opens each time you open excel.

Pearson's notes helped identify my problem --- a defective add-in. Thank you!
