My desktop machine seems beset by a nasty virus. When I open Excel, all
macro workbooks it opens are flagged as a risk, and so Excel is virtually
unusable (ditto any app that uses VBA).

I am sure the culprit is some app called pp10.exe, but I have been unable to
find some decent instructions on how to remove this things. Can anyone give
me a steer?

PS I tried one of the recovery forums, but got no response.

Bob

Evidently, you have bad GoogleFu.

Item 8 on the first page leads you to using MBAM as a removal tool.

Depends upon your search criteria I suppose, but when I googled all I got
was a lot of removal tools that I had never heard of. Downloading and
running one of these did not seem a wise course of action to me, how do I
know they are genuine. That is why I came here for some advice from others
who know.

I downloaded MAMB and ran a scan. It indeed found 50 infections, and upon
removing these and rebooting restored my anti-virus, Excel was back and
looking at Task Manager there was no pp10.exe.

So I think I am recovered.

Thanks all.


Bob
