Trying to attach an excel spreadsheet to an email - says the attachment has a virus and to remove












1














I am trying to send an Excel spreadsheet by Yahoo! mail. When I try and attach it, it says there is a virus detected and to remove the attachment (I have also tried to attach it in a zip file). I have done a virus sweep on my PC, and it is totally clear. Any ideas? I need to send this attachment.

  • Does the spreadsheet contain any macros which may be detected as viruses? What version of Excel did you use to create the spreadsheet?
