Your computer does not have a virus in the truest of senses but one of the Word documents that you may have received from a PC user probably did. That Word macro virus is trying to run a VB script when you open a document. On the Mac, this fails and the 'could not fire event' occurs. The event is a VB script. These don't work on the Mac. They are designed to attach themselves to the Normal template so as to then be able to be a part of every new document that you create. Merely trash the Normal template, and it will automatically recreate itself fresh and clean.
