Macro viruses are computer viruses written in the macro or formula language of word processing and spreadsheet application programs. They spread when infected documents are transferred. Currently, the most vulnerable applications are Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel. Viruses such as Concept, Wazzu, Npad and CAP have spread internationally. Many macro viruses do nothing significant beyond global spreading, but some overwrite data, modify the contents of documents, and even send documents out of a company via e-mail.
