F-Secure Virus Descriptions : Mimir
W97M/Mimir.A is an overwriting Word 97 macro virus with a mass mailing
ability.
When an infected document is opened, the virus will change the title
of the Word's window to:
MiMiR is giving your computer new intelligence!
Then the virus ovewrites the three recently used documents as well as
every file with ".doc" extension in the "C:" drive with the active
document.
Finally it attempts to use Outlook to send a message to the
every person listed in the "Contacts" folder. The body of these
messages contains the following text:
Some nice jokes you got to read!! :))
The active document is attached to the message as well.
