Which of the following programs is usually targeted at Microsoft Office products?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

A macro virus is a virus that is written in a macro language: a programming language which is embedded inside a software application (e.g., word processors and spreadsheet applications). Some applications, such as Microsoft Office, allow macro programs to be embedded in documents such that the macros are run automatically when the document is opened, and this provides a distinct mechanism by which malicious computer instructions can spread. (Wikipedia)

NB: The virus Melissa is a well-known macro virus we could find attached to word documents.

Stealth viruses sound familiar, but I don't think they are specifically aimed at Microsoft Office. I might be mixing it up with something else.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like multipart viruses are more about spreading across different files rather than targeting Office specifically.

I think I remember something about viruses that specifically target Office files, maybe that's the macro virus?
