Click the Microsoft Office Button , and then click Excel Options.
Click Trust Center, click Trust Center
Settings, and then click Macro Settings.
Click the options that you want:
Disable all macros without notification Click this option if
you don't trust macros. All macros in documents and security alerts about macros
are disabled. If there are documents with unsigned macros that you do trust, you
can put those documents into a trusted location.
Documents in trusted locations are allowed to run without being checked by the
Trust Center security system.
Disable all macros with notification This is the default
setting. Click this option if you want macros to be disabled, but you want to
get security alerts if there are macros present. This way, you can choose when
to enable those macros on a case by case basis.
Disable all macros except digitally signed macros This
setting is the same as the Disable all macros with notification
option, except that if the macro is digitally signed by a trusted publisher, the
macro can run if you have already trusted the publisher. If you have not trusted
the publisher, you are notified. That way, you can choose to enable those signed
macros or trust the publisher. All unsigned macros are disabled without
notification.
Enable all macros (not recommended, potentially dangerous code
can run) Click this option to allow all macros to run. This setting makes
your computer vulnerable to potentially malicious code and is not recommended.
Trust access to the VBA project object model This
setting is for developers and is used to deliberately lock out or allow
programmatic access to the VBA object model from any Automation client. In other
words, it provides a security option for code that is written to automate an
Office program and programmatically manipulate the Microsoft Visual Basic for
Applications (VBA) environment and object model. This is a per user and per
application setting, and denies access by default. This security option makes it
more difficult for unauthorized programs to build "self-replicating" code that
can harm end-user systems. For any Automation client to be able to access the
VBA object model programmatically, the user running the code must explicitly
grant access. To turn on access, select the check box.

The default Excel
file format. Cannot store VBA macro code or Microsoft Excel 4.0 macro sheets
(.xlm files in Excel 4.0).
Excel Macro-Enabled
Workbook
.xlsm
Uses the same basic
XML format as the Excel Workbook, but can store VBA macro code. Users saving
an Excel workbook that has VBA code or Excel 4.0 macro sheets (.xlm files in
Excel 4.0) are prompted to use this file format.
Excel Template
.xltx
The default file
format for an Excel template. Cannot store VBA macro code or Excel 4.0 macro
sheets (.xlm files in Excel 4.0).
Excel Macro-Enabled
Template
.xltm
Can contain a
VBAProject part or Excel 4.0 macro sheets (.xlm files in Excel 4.0).
Workbooks created from this template inherit the VBAProject part or Excel 4.0
macro sheets that exist in the template.
Excel Add-In
.xlam
A supplemental
program that runs additional code. Excel add-ins use the Open XML file format
to store data, and they support using VBA projects and Excel 4.0 macro
sheets.

To create an option button in Microsoft Office Excel 2007, make sure that you add Option Button (form control) to the Quick Access Toolbar. To do this, follow these steps:
Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Excel Options.
Click the Customize category, select All Commands in the Choose commands from list, select Option Button (form control), and then click OK.
To create an option button and to assign a macro to it, follow these steps:
In Excel 2003 and in earlier versions of Excel, click Option Button on the Forms toolbar, and then draw the outline of the button on the sheet.
In Excel 2007, click Option Button (form control) on the Quick Access Toolbar, and then draw the outline of the button on the sheet.
Select any cell in the worksheet.
In versions of Excel that are for Microsoft Windows, right-click the option button, and then click Assign Macro.
In versions of Excel that are for Macintosh, press COMMAND while you click or press CTRL while you click, depending on your operating system version. Then, click Assign Macro.
In the Assign Macro dialog box, click the name of the macro that you want to assign to the option button, and then click OK.
When you click the option button, the macro will run.
is a hiden process of Excel, is like program or several steps ( like moving cursor, make calculations, moving files, is no limit what can do, but normaly is not visible, is low level programing is always used for virus spreeding.
You're right - it was caused by recording a macro. When you record a macro you are given the option to store the new macro in "This Workbook", a "New Workbook" (the default), or in a "Personal Macro Workbook". It looks like you selected "Personal Macro Workbook".
The recorded macro is stored in a special workbook called "Personal.xls". This workbook is loaded every time Excel is loaded. If you don't want this workbook loaded, then just delete it or rename it.
The file is buried deep in Microsoft's application data area. On my Vista computer it's in C:\Users\frogfund\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART
On my Windows XP computer it's in C:\Documents and Settings\frogfund\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART. Depending on your computer your Personal.xls might be in a slightly different location. You might need to do a search using Windows Explorer.
If you are still having troubles finding personal.xls
1. Open Excel,
2. Open the Visual Basic editor (hit Alt-F11 or click Tools-Macro-Visual Basic Editor)
3. Click Tools-References to bring up the references dialog
4. Click on VBAProject in the list. The file location will be displayed near the bottom of the dialog box. Sometimes this might be cut off at the end, but it should give you a good idea where the file is located.
5. Click Cancel to close the dialog.
Click the Microsoft Office Button , and then click Excel Options. In the Popular category, under Top options for working with Excel, select the Show Developer tab in the Ribbon check box, and then click OK.
Note The Ribbon is a component of the Microsoft Office Fluent user interface. To set the security level temporarily to enable all macros, do the following: On the Developer tab, in the Code group, click Macro Security.
In the Macros Settings category, under Macro Settings, click Enable all macros (not recommended, potentially dangerous code can run), and then click OK.
Note To help prevent potentially dangerous code from running, we recommend that you return to any of the settings that disable all macros after you finish working with macros. Open the workbook that contains the module that you want to copy and the workbook that you want to copy the module to. On the Developer tab, in the Code group, click Visual Basic. On the View menu, click Project Explorer . Drag the module that you want to copy to the destination workbook.
There is no indication that VBA should not work in all versions of Excel. There is a new file extension (xlsm), which is used to activate macros and allow usage. If you have, perhaps, opened and saved with incorrect extension (new is xlsx), VBA may be unavailable. Try to resave it with the changed extension. It seems likely that this is the issue (reference http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/HP100141031033.aspx?pid=CH100648071033). Also, if you make sure your Save As option is set at xlsm, this should help to prevent problems. VBA should not be an issue in any version of Excel and custom functions ARE available (see http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/HA102189961033.aspx?pid=CH100645021033). It should be as simple as changing the extension, and I would suggest changing the default save as option. If this helps, please rate "FixYa"! Thanks!
You are better off not playing the game as they usually contain some form of malware.
To possibly infect yourself you by playing the game will need to change the security settings for macros in excel. This is usually located in the Tools menu. Set it for the least restrictive setting, but you have been warned, you will be infected with malware. If not with this game then in the near future.
Your Excel may have a different "Macro Security" setting.
Your "Macro Security" can be adjusted:
Tools, Macro, Security.
I highly recommend the "Medium" setting.
This will prompt you when an Excel file is opened that contains Macros to Enable or Disable.
If you choose a security setting of "Low" please be very careful as this will allow Macros to run without any notice, VERY DANGEROUS.
