W97M.Ethan Virus


W97M.Ethan Virus

Ethan is a Word macro virus that replicates in Word 97, infecting Word's NORMAL.DOT documents and template. Ethan also checks for W97M/Class virus infections, deleting that virus' class.sys file replication mechanism.

The virus replicates by generating a file named "c:\ethan.___". Randomly activated, the virus may change a document's properties on open, making the following changes:
  • Document title changes to "Ethan Frome"
  • Author changes to "EW/LN/CB".
  • Company changes to "Foo Bar Industries, Inc."
