Explanation

A macro virus is a virus that is written in a macro language, which is a programming language embedded inside a software application, such as word processors and spreadsheet applications. A macro virus can attach itself to a file or template and run automatically when the file is opened or closed, without the user's knowledge. A macro virus can infect any system that supports macros, regardless of the operating system. A macro virus can spread quickly by infecting other documents and templates, and may cause damage to the computer and its applications.
