I'm currently working in Malawi, Africa - I am the only mac user in an office (strangely makes me want a PC for the first time in years! must be the heat), but with so many PC viruses its pain full to watch them all (actually I'm glad i have a mac). none of these effect my machine although it can harbour them. however, i am using Office for Mac 2004 and have been sharing data with collogues. after one particular occasion i started up excel and the tool bars had disappeared and what's more i started to get an error message saying 'no more fonts can be used in this workbook' or something to that effect and the Excel GUI graphics started to disappear, although the window remains and none of the other applications are effected; in short every thing apart from excel is ok? when oppened i am asked if i would like to disable macros - but i haven't placed any in the workbook, so i'm presuming its a macro virus?
ClamAV cant detect it and i don't know how many of my workbooks are infected?
is there any thing i can do to search out which are infected and possibly clean them, or is the data lost, or is it something else entirely?
thanks

You could think that ClamXav sports a clean interface, but unfortunately there's not much more to see.
Clam AntiVirus (ClamAV) is a free software, cross-platform and open-source antivirus software toolkit able to detect many types of malicious software, including viruses.One of its main uses is on mail servers as a server-side email virus scanner. The application was developed for Unix and has third party versions available for AIX, BSD, HP-UX, Linux, macOS, OpenVMS, OSF (Tru64) and Solaris.

Clamxav Antivirus For Mac Review
ClamXav has two main features: a thorough scan of your hard disk, and a real-time warden called CalmXav Sentry. Unfortunately, the antivirus and Sentry don't talk one another, so if Sentry catches up any unusual activity from a file on your HD, you have to launch a full scan before you can point out the malicious file, which is disheartening. Furthermore, there's no obvious method to eliminate any threat: ClamXav trusts you to use the contextual menu. The software doesn't offer any firewall feature either.
A nice touch is that you can use whatever antivirus engine you like, you just have to tell ClamXav to use it. Although it's a classy move from its developer, we don't think a typical user can take advantage of this feature.
If you have any previous version, when ClamXav was free, you can still use it (for its database will be updated anyway), but if you're in the market for an antivirus for your Mac, you'd better keep searching.
Conclusion
Although ClamXav is a popular solution, it can't compete with other free options.
