W97M.Marker.D virus

[laurie olefson]

is attached to word documents. a friend rid it from my husbands resume which he was trying to upload to monster. there doesn't seem to be a program to get rid of it on a mac. so everythng i open just gets infected on my 3 machines. other than taking it to a pc and running the program my friend had, is there a (program) that will allow me to get rid of it? i know it doesn't affect my machine but pcs will not take these docs. I don't work in word, just use it to open client documents and copy into quark. my family, however does and that just complicates everything. HELP!

You have an Office 97 macro virus. Any current popular Mac antivirus utility can remove it. Afterall, the only reason to install antivirus software on the Mac is to remove Windows viruses. I won't get into Norton Antivirus. It is a commercial utility, but ClamXav is free. Download and install ClamXav. Use it to remove the virus and get on with your life.
