I have been getting automatic calendar invites from what is referred to as "Microsoft Suggestion" forums. I have searched the net and came up with what is referred to as the "Microsoft Suggestion virus"
Is this real, and if so, how to remove?
I've run Microsoft Anti-Malware scans etc. I even downloaded and ran Nortons Power Eraser
Does anyone have a little more insight to this?
I have also made the appropriate settings in Outlook to prevent automatically accepting invitations, etc.

Not know much about the "Microsoft Suggestion virus" you mentioned. If you mean receiving Outlook Calendar Spam Invitations and you are using Exchange mail server, maybe you could try to create mail flow rules to block the Spam Invitations from specific email address or try some other spam settings from your server side.
As I know, from the perspective of the Outlook client, we have not had a dedicated option for similar problems yet. Please try the suggestions mentioned in this thread: Removing Outlook Calendar Spam Invitations and see if it could help.

Thanks for your reply.
Have you tried the both suggestions I mentioned above for example the Exchange mail flow rules? If the issue still continues, as we mentioned above, to solve your problem from the root cause, it is more suggested for you to post your issue to the dedicated forum for malware.
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thanks for your understanding and hope your issue could be resolved soon.
