F-Secure Virus Descriptions : Hope





NAME:Hope
ALIAS:NoHope

W97M/Hope is a simple Word class infector.

VARIANT:Hope.A

When an infected document is opened, W97M/Hope.A disables the macro virus protection. It also removes both "Tools/Macros" and "Tools/Options..." menus.

Then the virus infects the global template and all documents opened or closed thereafter.
