A macro virus can refer to one of two things:
*A macro virus, in computing, is a computer virus that exploits programs' associated documents (such as Microsoft Word Documents) to contain harmful embedded code.
*A macro virus, in biology, is a virus that is larger than usual, e.g. beyond the need for microscopes to view. None have as yet been discovered yet, although the concept has been featured several times in science fiction.
