It's almost like the phone call just disconnected in mid sentence.

hrmmhhh.. No idea what happened to the Original Post. I typed the whole thing. odd
anyway, She messed up a very large departmental spreadsheet so a couple hundred hyperlinks were re-directed to her local data folder rather than the network share. I fixed it by creating a custom macro (several times) to restore the broken links. I had to do this for numerous file paths.
Ever since I did this, my Excel on my laptop is messed up. Whenever I open any spreadsheet, a second workbook, name "Personal", opens up. I think this "personal" book is the original macro or something. I've tried everything I can think of and tinker with to stop this behavior to no avail. I am not overly skilled in Excel and am kinda hoping one of you can shed some light on this issue. Google was no help.
Thanks
Close Excel, kill any running process.
Look for .xlb and .xlt files under your profile.
Back them up for safety and delete them.
no luck. thanks for trying
Also look for .xltx, .xltm
Those are the templates.
Also go to permissions and stop macros running, look for my templates and check for the path - you might have the wrong path now.
resolved:
none of that above mentioned stuff worked. I actually searched for and found the Personal.xlsb and deleted it. It lived in the profile>roaming location.
Thanks everybody for their help
interesting... this is what it's supposed to be for... http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/ex...102174076.aspx
yup. that looks about right.
Anytime you have some odd computer issue, you should never ignore malware as a possible cause. All the same, anytime I have to deal with a computer that has performance issues, I usually start by running hard drive and memory diagnostics. If the system passes, I run TDSSKiller, ComboFix, and MalwareBytes AntiMalware in that order. It's also a good idea to follow up with an online scan such as Eset's online scanner.
EFF it, after a long absence, my take on malware is that most of it is actually less sophisticated than it used to be. I'd say there is a two tier system now. There are the large institutional hacks which as an individual you can only marginally protect yourself against, and the attacks against individual users, which are mostly not that dangerous. Hey, let's go for the goal line! Ransom Ware? Do you keep regular backups you can restore? Is your AV software up date. Generally recovering a ransomware attack at the individual level just needs restoring a backup.
Welcome back! Two law firms that I support, were hit with ransomeware. We shut it down quickly, so only one computer in each firm was compromised. Format and reload. Restore from I drive backups. Back to normal.
