FileClose, FileSaveAs, FileSave, FileNew, AutoExec, AutoNew, AutoSave,
AutoClose, AutoOpen, ToolsOptions, ViewVBCode, ToolsMacro. The virus
infects the system and documents on calling any of these macros.


The ToolsMacro and ViewVBCode functions are available only if the first
line in C:AUTOEXEC.BAT file contains the text:

Else the virus cancels these procedures and displays the MessageBox:

In June the virus erases the files and directory:

c:windows*.*
c:windowssystem*.*
c:My Documents

It then appends to the C:AUTOEXEC.BAT file the text:

@echo off

echo Hail Satan!
echo Hail Satan!
echo Hail Satan!
echo Hail Satan!
echo Hail Satan!
echo Hail Satan!
echo Hail Satan!
echo Hail Satan!
