F-Secure Virus Descriptions : Footer





NAME:Footer
ALIAS:Footnote

This is a simple Word macro virus.

VARIANT:Footer.A

While spreading, Footer.A creates these two files:

        c:\footprint.$$$
        c:\footprint.$$1

The virus activates by overwriting the footer area in opened documents.

W97M/Footer was found in the wild in February 1999.

VARIANT:Footer.S

This is a minor variant of Footer.A that is functionally identical with it.
