A slippery virus

The Sophos investigation center reported that in the Web there is a new version of the macro.virus for Word 97 WM97/Verlor-A, now with the WM97/Verlor-I name. This virus uses several methods of security to become way inside the system: When you open Visual Basic Editor (VBE) of Word, the virus creates archives OVERLORD.b.vbs and OVERLORD.b.dll in the directory of Windows, file WIN.ini is altered so that it executes file VBS whenever Windows is initiated. The virus eliminates itself automatically of template of Word, but it maintains log in c:.SYS of those archives of which it was eliminated. When Windows is reinitiated, file VBS reinfects the archives previously " desinfected " concerning the code of the OVERLORD.b.dll (this file is not a real DLL, but an ASCII that contains the code of the macro-virus). File VBS uses log that is stored in c:.SYS to determine which file needs to be desinfected.

What is a virus?  

It is a small written program intentionally to settle in the computer of an user without the knowledge or the permission of him. We say that it is a parasitic program because the program attacks the archives or sectors of " boot " and it is talked back to itself to continue his relaxation. They cause from the loss of data or archives in storage medias of information (floppy disks, hard disk), until damages to the system and, sometimes, include instructions that can cause damages to the equipment.

Some are only limited to reproduce themselves, whereas others can produce serious damages that can affect the systems. It has been arrived at a point so, that a new called virus W95/CIH-10xx or also as Chernobyl (it can appear the 26 of every month, specially 26 of June and 26 of April) attacks the BIOS of the PC host and to change its configuration of such form that is required to change it. It can be assumed that a virus is inoffensive and never be left " floating " in the system.

The classification of the virus is the following one: 

 - " pure "Virus - Trojan horse

- Logic bomb

- Worm or " worm " All these programs has in common the creation of pernicious effects; nevertheless, all cannot be considered like virus themselves.
