Excel Corruption Due to Virus Infected Macros

When you try to open a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, you may encounter one of the following error messages:
"This workbook contains one or more Microsoft Excel macros. These macros may contain viruses or other harmful code. These macros will be disabled."
Or
"This workbook contains one or more Microsoft Excel macros. These macros may contain viruses or other harmful code. Open this workbook only if you trust the source. Do you want to enable these macros?"

After these error messages, either your spreadsheet can not be opened or the macros get disabled.
Grounds of this issue

You might encounter these error messages if your Excel workbook contains macros. Macros are predefined functions that execute a series of precise steps automatically within the program like Microsoft Excel 2003 when you open a workbook.
Because macros sometimes contain malevolent codes when you get them from external sources, you may face this behavior of Microsoft Excel. These malicious code constructs may possibly corrupt the spreadsheet and may make its content inaccessible.

Resolution
There are two possible solutions of this problem:
? Uninstall or disable all the macros.
? If you believe that macros do not contain viruses, change the security settings of Excel (If Security Certificate is not an issue, if it is expired, you need to get an updated version of the certificate/application).
In these cases, you will not be able use macros and perform the operations for which you included them in your spreadsheet.
