A new macro virus word has been found
Informations i have :
- uses path variable to find a target
- deletes (!) the target
Type : assembles itself in Normal.dot through multiple word documents
Protection : nothing with Fprot, not recognized by antivirus software
Question :
Except a change in normal.dot Size, how could we prevent these macros to
infect entire file (.doc & .dot) systems ?
Your answer is urgently needed, if you need a description of an infected
macro, we could send you one !!
If you are not sure of the seriousness of this message, let me know..
the point is this awful sh.. already deleted my DOS, NOTES, & WINDOW
directory.
Any suggestions...
Help urgently required ...
