Macro Virus?
 
I may have picked up some sort of macro virus (Excel 2003) that is writing
to File - Properties.

How do I search for all Excel Macros on my computer?

Where do I look for Macros that run every time Excel is started?

What is the file extension for Excel macros?

Thank you.

Macro Virus?
 
Macros exist in workbooks (*.xls, *.xlt, *.xla and anything else the developer
wants to use...).

You can look in your XLStart folder and under Tools|Addins to start.

Chip Pearson has some notes on how to diagnose startup errors at:

And Jan Karel Pieterse has more notes at:
