How does a macro virus attack a system?

A macro virus attaches itself to a document file that contains macros (small programs) and executes when the document is opened, allowing it to infect the system. Once inside, the virus can replicate and spread to other documents, potentially causing damage to the system and compromising data. Regularly updating antivirus software and being cautious when opening files from unknown sources can help prevent macro virus attacks.

What programs are affected by a macro virus?

In computing terminology, a macro virus is a virus that is written in a macro language: that is to say, a language built into a software application such as a word processor. Since some applications (notably, but not exclusively, the parts of Microsoft Office) allow macro programs to be embedded in documents, so that the programs may be run automatically when the document is opened, this provides a distinct mechanism by which viruses can be spread. This is why it may be dangerous to open unexpected attachments in e-mails. Modern antivirus software detects macro viruses as well as other types.
