A macro virus is written as a list of commands that can be set to run automatically as soon as a computer user opens the infected file. Rootkits are programs used to gain unauthorized access to a system, keyloggers are used to monitor keystrokes on a computer, and adware is software that displays advertisements to the user. None of these options specifically fit the description of a virus written as a list of commands.
