There are many reasons for file bloat in Excel and it is not likely the
result of a virus

It could be that Excel thinks it has more data than it does.

Hit CTRL + END to see where Excel takes you.

Could be Excel has over-estimated your used range.

For help on re-setting, see Debra Dalgleish's site.
