Do this only if it is _Trojan.Pakes.A_ or you find the following file, registry entry!!!

1. Start PC in Safe mode.
2. Delete Registry Entry:

3. Delete file 'msoff.exe'
4. Scan your PC in safe Mode with your AV/TR soft

If it not this Trojan skip step 2 and 3 and do the rest.

No, MS Office has in normal circumstances no /Run registry entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
