About this tag
Discussions about document infection on WindowsForum.com focus on recurring trojan warnings, particularly the Conteban trojan, that appear when editing or attaching Word documents from external drives.

Topics include troubleshooting document infections on portable drives, understanding why scans show no threat despite warnings, and steps to resolve recurring alerts. The tag covers user experiences with document infection alerts, scanning tools, and external drive security.
