Default Need computer help, Microsoft Word opens by itself

Out of nowhere, Microsoft Word will open up and display the erroe message The function you are attempting to run contains macros or contents that requires macro language support. When I click ok, another message pops up and says Saving the AutoRecovery file is postpones for normal. Any ideas whats going on? Its driving me crazy

Sounds like a virus... do you get any other choices besides OK when the "running macros" warning appears? Does this happen upon startup? You might want to uninstall/reinstall Office b/c it sounds like the app might be corrupted now... not sure what that macro is supposed to do (unless you could post the code here), but it is likely that it may be malicious.

Be sure to find the culprit file running the macro. And I hope that your other existent files are safe from corruption.
