Macro.Word.Date
This macro virus was written in Italy. It contains the automatic macro AutoOpen, by which it infects documents and the NORMAL.DOT template. The macro AutoOpen is encrypted (i.e. it is not directly modifiable). Besides the Main subroutine - inside macros it is present on default - the virus contains two other subroutines:
Infezione (Infection)
Effetti (Payload)
Before running the "Infezione" and "Effetti" subroutines, Word.Macro.Date checks the system date. If the year is < 1997 and month is < 6, the virus runs the infection routines, otherwise it aborts its operations.
Word.Macro.Date seems to work correctly also on the English version of Word.
The "Effetti" routine tries to delete the macro AutoClose from templates (disinfects "Divina" macro virus?). |
