The sample contains VBA macros that attempt to disable macro virus protection and replicate themselves to the Normal template, indicating self-propagation and evasion. The script also modifies the Internet Explorer start page to 'http://my12.narod.ru/www.htm', likely to redirect the user to malicious content. The presence of a 'Document_Open' macro and the ClamAV detection 'Doc.Trojan.My12-1' strongly suggest malicious intent.

  • VBA macro-virus self-replication / AV tampering critical OLE_VBA_MACRO_VIRUS_REPLICATION
    VBA macro programmatically rewrites VBA project code through the VBE object model (CodeModule/VBComponents InsertLines/DeleteLines/AddFromString or OrganizerCopy) to copy itself into the global template and other open documents, and/or disables Office macro-virus protection (Options.VirusProtection = False). This is the defining behavior of the W97M document macro-virus family — self-replicating code with no benign document use, independent of any AV signature.
