Notes: Demonstration <strong>Macro</strong> <strong>Virus</strong>.<br />

This virus uses the macro capability built into Microsoft Word (WordBasic) to add a virus to a<br />

Word document. Since this virus is written in the macro language, it is not platform specific, but<br />

will execute on any platform that runs Word 6 or later.<br />

When you open an infected document, its auto open macro runs and installs an AutoClose macro<br />

in your global macro file (normal.dot). Once that is done, the virus code is executed every time<br />

you close a document. The virus code then writes copies of itself onto every document you save<br />

with Word.<br />

F-Prot 2.21 Detects it.<br />
