Technical details

CAP - infection routine AutoExec - calls the infection routine AutoOpen - - // - FileOpen - - // - FileSave - - // - AutoClose - - // - FileClose - - // - FileSaveAs - - // - ToolsMacro - hides all macros ("stealth" routine) FileTemplates - - // -

The virus not only disables ToolsMacro and FileTemplates menus, but also deletes the references to them in the File and Tools main menus. The virus also disables auto-macros. As a result it is not possible to disinfect this virus by using Word functions -it is not possible to delete macro viruses by creating new or running existing virus removing macros.

The virus emulates "FileSaveAs" while saving infected documents -and writes an empty document to disk.

The virus contains the following strings (comments):
