Concept Virus

Information about the Concept Virus:

This virus infects Word documents, templates and the NORMAL.DOT file of Word 6 and Word for Windows 95. This is the first macro virus that was able to spread in the wild. The virus code is contained in 5 macros named "AAAZAO ", "AAAZFS", "AutoOpen", "FileSaveAs" and "PayLoad".

When the first infected document is opened by Word the virus gets control and it checks whether the Global Template file (NORMAL.DOT) is infected. If it is not infected then the virus copies its macros to NORMAL.DOT and there by infecting it. Then onwards the virus will be infecting all the new document files created in that computer.

When the virus infects NORMAL.DOT it displays a dialog box containing the number "1" and an "OK" button. Even though the virus contains a macro called "PayLoad", it does not do any harm at any time.

Concept virus first appeared in 1996 and it is in the wild.

Variants of Concept virus :
