Ethan Frome virus or malware?

Recently when I was saving a file to a PDF from Microsoft Word, I noticed the creator of this document said Ethan Frome,  when it saved as a PDF file in the top left corner that name Ethan Frome showed up again.    When I look at the details of a document the Title will show up as Ethan Frome, then under that it says EW/LC/CD  then under that it shows as Dell Computer Corporation, then after that it says Keyword:  Ethan.

I have tried running a malware scan and it says it doesn't find anything, I also ran the Norton's that I have and that didn't find anything.  Any suggestion on how to remove this from my computer?  

Thank you for any help you can give me to remove this.

    Hello Junes1,

    Open the Word document, then select File - Info.

    On the right, show all properties, is that Ethan Frome listed as the Author?

    If so, add your name as a new Author, then right click that Ethan Frome and select Remove.

    To permanently change the default Author name in your Word application, go to File - Options.

    On the right, in the 'Personalize your copy of Office' section, you can set the default Author's details.
