Your only sure bet to rid your self of a virus without any antivirus software is to completely wipe the drive, conduct a low-level format, re-partition and re format the drive, and reinstall all your software. Even then you may not be able to eradicate any of the viruses that infect hard drive MBRs.

Go ahead and spend $50 on Norton AntiVirus (currently comes with a $20 rebate) or some other vendors similar offering and then you will be pretec ted from getting viruses to begin with.

Remove the virus by following this instruction as stated on Symantec Antivirus Website:

There are a number of Word 97 macro virii. Go to www.Symantec.com and search for W97 macro

www.mcafee.com allows you a free scan - like a free trial. You can always get your free trial, scan your system and then not purchase the software.

I would definitely check the CNET download site first thing, and check for antivirus software. If you want freeware, you can specify free in your search criteria.
