I've had this happen a couple of times now. I do some work on my gf's mac, just some simple word processing using MS word 2003. I save it on a usb stick, then put it into my computer (windows XP). As I plug it in nod32 pops up saying there is a virus in the .doc file I have been working on. It's not only the nod32 virus checker that catches it, it happens on the uni computers (using sophos AV) as well. It gives me the option to clean the file which it does and seems to solve everyhting.

Is this something to be worried about or is it just a silly little niggle? If it is a problem, any ideas where the problem could be (mac or pc)?

Thanks.
 
Seems like your gf's PC is infected and it tries to attach itself on the .doc file prolly so that can spread. I would install an Antivirus on your gf's PC in order to get rid of the problem.
