Today, I have received a new doc. document and wanted to open it using LibreOffice (Version 5.1.6.2). The following Warning Message was displayed:
"This document contains macros. Macros may contain viruses. Execution of macros is disabled due to the current macro security setting in Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice -> Security (3 - High). Therefore, some functionality may not be available".
Then, I had no option of preventing myself from opening the document. Although the execution of macros is disabled, I am still worried about the possible presence of the Micro Virus on my Ubuntu (16.04.2 LTS) computer.
How is it possible to know whether my computer has been infected by a Macro Virus?
What should I do if my computer has indeed been infected?
Help much appreciated. Thank you.
clamav
(install viasudo apt-get clamav
) you could scan a fileclamscan FILE
to see if it is infected in the first place. Can be repeated for the whole file system. - Yet to calm you: the warning regarding macros should not panic you as much as it seems to do now. As it says, macros were disabled and so not run in the first place. This is independent from opening the document (with your security settings). – Fiximan Feb 27 '17 at 22:41Working With Directories and Files
