SYMPTOMS
When you click Select in the Excel Virus Search Add-In dialog box, you cannot select the Desktop as the folder in which to search for the Laroux macro virus.



WORKAROUND
If you want to scan only the Microsoft Excel files on your Desktop for the Laroux macro virus, type the path to the Desktop Folder in the "Enter the path of the folder to search" box. For example, if your hard disk is named "Macintosh HD", you would type the following:

Macintosh HD:Desktop Folder

When you click OK, only the Excel files on your desktop are scanned for the Laroux macro virus.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition.
