Looks like a macro virus which is created by Windows. Easy enough to stop with a virus scanner although it will probably stop whatever you were using it for in Word.

Is word affected? I mean does it work OK? Might be best to re-run the word / office installer and tell it to fix any errors.

then get the latest Service Pack.
