You have been hit with the Concept Virus!!!
There are several ways to deal with it.  If you know what you are doing, you 
will be able to determine that macros are causing it--AutoNew, AutoOpen, 
Payload, FileSave, FileSaveAs, and possibly some others.
If you don't really know what you are doing, just rename (or delete) your 
Normal.Dot, and restart Word.
Then scootch as quickly as you can to MS BBS and obtain SCANPROT.
Good Luck.  Most of us here have already dealt with this pesky virus.
