9. Macro​

Macro viruses focus on language commands in Microsoft word. Similar comments are applied to other programs. The macros are keywords that are deployed on sequences for commands. The macro viruses are built to add their malicious code to the macro sequence in a word document. Cyber attackers use social engineering to target the user. The user can enable macros to load the virus. The word document error is overcome in the version Office 2016. It can be accessed for trusted work and blocked if required across the company.

10. Rootkit​
