The Macro\/VBA virus is malware that comes in various forms like <strong>PLDT, SVG, and CAR<\/strong>. This is designed in a way to infect any application written with a <strong>Macro language and MS Excel is one of them.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Consequently, this easily gets infected with Virus infection. In the Excel files, this malicious program takes the benefits of Macros by attaching itself to the file and secretly takes the <strong>Auto_Open<\/strong> function of Excel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Moreover, there are many new kinds of Excel virus that comes embedded in the Excel document. The <strong>CryptoLocker virus <\/strong>is the one. This is very dangerous and easily infects the files, documents, and applications stored on the PC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So, the easiest way to protect your Excel files against <strong>PLDT\/ SVG\/ CAR Macro<\/strong> viruses is just disabling the Macros in the Excel files. And also scan your system with the good Excel Virus Removal\u00a0tool.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In this way you can avoid the Excel files from getting infected with the virus but if your Excel files already have been infected with a virus.
