Defender says I have malware running in an Excel macro but I didn't use macros

I got this message from Windows Defender Trojan:Script/Foretype.A!ml for my Excel file. I'm running Excel ver 2002. I am the author of the Excel file and I do not use Macros of any type. When I run inspect
it says I am running macros. I went to view - macros, the pop up is all blank. Went to the VB editor all pages blank.

I got the file setting not to run any macros.

Any ideas on what is going on? Has malware inserted a hidden macro?

Thanks

Hi Brian,

The issue is quite unclear and too broad for us to distinguish the main reason why you are having challenges/issues in Macro. To have a better understanding of your concern, we'd like to ask you some questions:

• Are you referring on using macros on Excel? If yes, what is the version of your Office?
  
• What exact application are you using when using macros? Where did you download it?

• What were the recent changes made on your computer before you experienced this issue?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
• Did you receive any error message?

Your response will be much appreciated.
