Sad

Summary

WM/Sad is a simple Word macro virus that does not do anything but replicate.

It infects the global template when an infected document is opened. After that every closed document will be infected.

Once detected, the F-Secure security product will automatically disinfect the suspect file by either deleting it or renaming it.

More information on scanning and removal options available in your F-Secure product can be found in the Help Center.

You may also refer to the Knowledge Base on the F-Secure Community site for more information.

It contains the following macro description:

  Installed to your NORMAL template as AutoClose to clean the prank     macros from any documents that you open then close.

This description is on "AutoClose" macro in the global template, and on "Sad" macro on infected documents. It is viewable from "Tools/Macro" dialog.
