Macro Virus is not a virus; it is a hoax or an e-mail message that tricks users into believing that all computers running Windows 95 contain a macro virus that will run on 1 October.

Its aim is to cause alarm and get users to forward the message.

In order to avoid problems, disregard this information, as it is completely false. You should also immediately delete the message, without forwarding it to anyone.

Macro Virus arrives in an apparently normal e-mail message, but which can be identified by its message. The message text always refers to a macro virus supposedly incorporated in Windows 95, which will be triggered on 1 October.
