When an infected workbook is opened or closed, X97M/Beliers infects all
currently opened workbooks. It also infects a random number of
workbooks that it can find from the "C:\Mes Documents" directory. This
is the "My Documents" directory in the French Windows. If such directory
can't be found, it will infect documents in the current directory.
If the last two digits of the current year is 99, in some systems
depending on the current locale settings, the virus will attempt to
add a link to the Netscape Navigator bookmarks file and create an
internet shortcut to the "Favoris" (Favorites) directory pointing to a
web site. The "Favoris" directory is used by the French version of
Internet Explorer.
