Details
Macro.Office.Corner
Corner is a multi-platform macro-virus, which infects both MS Word (DOC) and MS Project (MPP) files. The ability to infect these two office applications is based on two functions inside of the virus' program code. One of them is automatically launched by MS Word and another by MS Project. These functions have different names in a NORMAL.DOT template, and infected Word documents and Project files.
The method of virus replicating and spreading is common to all macro-viruses created for MS Office applications: the virus takes control over the active document (or project) and adds to it the virus code by using standard features of the programming language VBA (Visual Basic for Applications).
The virus carries no destructive payload, and does not manifest itself in any other way.
The presence of the virus can be easily detected by the following comment string that the virus inserts into infected documents:
I never realized the lengths I'd have to go
All the darkest corners of a sense
I didn't know
Just for one moment
hearing someone call
Looked beyond the day in hand
There's nothing there at all
