W97M/Story is a Word 97 class infector. VARIANT: When an infected document is opened, the virus infects the global template. After that it infects all documents that are closed. The virus code contains the following text that the virus uses to check whenever the global template or active document has been infected or not: 'Jack-In-The-Box When the virus has infected the active document, it saves a copy of it as "C:\Windows\Story.doc". It also checks existence of the mIRC application file, "c:\mirc\mirc32.exe". If the file is found, the virus alters the "mirc.ini" file from the same directory disabling the "Fileserver warning" from "mIRC Options/DCC/Fserve" dialog. The virus also overwrites the existing "script.ini" file with its own, which will cause the following: When a connection is made to any IRC server, there is a 1:8 chance that the script will send a mail to a random anti-virus vendor's support email address containing the following body: Jack-In-The-Box Has Popped Up Again! The script also sends the "C:\Windows\Story.doc" during the IRC session. The file is sent with either of the following messages: Hey, I can't talk right now but I wanted to send you this file. It has a funny story you should read, and also has macros inside that protect you from a lot of viruses. Just open the document, enable the macros, and if you are infected it will get rid of the virus I'm a little busy so I can't talk much now. I thought you might want to look at this file I got. It has a funny story and also has macros in it which get rid of any macro viruses. Just enable the macros when the prompt comes up and it will scan for any viruses and clean them. Or without the message at all. The macro virus also disables "Tools/Macro", "Tools/Customize", "View/Toolbars" and "View/Status Bar" menus. |
