F-Secure Virus Descriptions : Odious

Odious

VARIANT: Odious.A

Odious.A is a Word macro virus that contains a destructive payload.

When a user opens Visual Basic Editor of Word Application the virus exits it and replaces the file C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT with the following:

 Deltree c:\*.* /y"
 "echo Fu** you...."

On that way the virus tries to erase all the contents of the C:\ drive, next time when the system is restarted.
