Not being a Microsoft Word user, I can't be 100 per cent sure here, but 
are you really sure that you've 'picked up a virus' ????

This sort of thing isn't by any means 'typical' virus behaviour - it 
sounds more like a configuration change/error in Word to me.

I could be wrong, but I'd certainly be interested in the findings.
