I was editing my VBA code (in Excel2002) to fix some text in a userform. It
all looked ok so I exited and saved. Then I reset my screen resolution to match the lower setting my users of this app use. Then I loaded Excel2000 and opened the workbook (I test the app in both versions of excel). I now get this excel error message no mater how I try to open the file... "The macros in this file do not match the digital signature. Only a macro virus would cause this. Please scan for viruses, and notify the publisher of this document. Macros will be disabled." * Ok I am the publisher... so I notified myself! * The PC I was working on is the one that I have added my own self signing certificate with SELFCERT.EXE So all saves of any macro changes should keep the current certificate. OS is Win2000 (5.00.2195 Service Pack 4 with Automatic updates turned on) * I have spent the last 4 hours messing with my eTrust AntiVirus software. I did update the virus "signature" file and when I scanned the XLS file it reported nothing was wrong. I then scanned both my fixed drives 3 times. The 1st time 3 infected files were reported. 1 was cleaned ok, the other 2 were Java applets in the cache that after a lot of research I found out how to delete those files. The last scan reports all is clean now. I still can't get my VBA code enabled. I have looked through the code modules and forms-code and all looks like my code, no malware that I could find. (Could there be malicious code still hiding somewhere in my VBA project or the XLS file?) What do I do to solve this problem? The virus' that were found we Win32/SillyDl.OE (which was cleaned by the software) and Java/ByteVerify!exploit (which would not clean, I had to manually delete the java cache files, then the next scan reported all was clean) I noticed that each of these 3 virus was detected by using what eTrust Antivirus called "Signature" I dont know if that is related to the "digital certificate" that I am using to sign my VBA projects. -- Regards, John |
