Macro.Word.Bishke

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

Details
Macro.Word.Bishkek

This virus contains four original macros that are copied with different names while infecting documents or NORMAL.DOT:
Documents NORMAL.DOT
AOSample, AutoOpen AOSample
FSSample FSSample, FileSaveAs
FOSample FOSample, FileOpen
RVSample RemoveVaccine

The virus infects the global macros area on opening an infected document (AutoOpen). It infects documents that are opened (FileOpen) or saving with new name (FileSaveAs).
The virus searches and deletes macros that belong to the “Concept” macro virus. While saving templates with a new name the virus displays a DialogBox. This dialog contains items to select file format to save document (DOT, DOC, TXT). On pressing the “About” button the virus displays the text:
Read this information to settle your issue
It is possible to select one of the next Items:
1. “Document Templates(* .dot)”
2. “Word Documents(* .doc)”
3. “Text Files(* .txt)”
Selecting the first Item does not convert your Document to another format
and saves all Macroses there.
Consequently, this Document will keep your own Samles and also will
eradicate the Word infection in the future. That ability to remove such
infection will be spreaded to other computers. Template’s documents alone
are capable to do it!
Selecting the next Items (2,3..) will convert your Template’s Document to
the Simple Format as *.doc or *.txt
In this Case, it is necessary to remember, that any Samples and Macroses
kept by Template’s Document will have been lost!
To remove this Word Vaccine it is necessary to run RemoveVaccine macros
from the ToolsMacroall menu!

While infecting global macros area (NORMAL.DOT) “Beeper.b” also creates two addition macros with random selected names. These macros contain copies of the TFGAMV and Joke macros.
The viruses infect the global macros area while infecting an opening document. They write themselves to documents while opening existing or creating a new document (AutoOpen, AutoNew).
Beeper.a
It maximizes Word windows and inserts into the current document the text:
You are infected with
The Time
A virus from Cool Zero

The virus does not executes the Kill and TheTime macros, i.e. they may be activated only by user’s request (by File/Templates or Tools/Macro menus). When activated, the TheTime macro checks the system time and at 15:59 beeps and displays the MessageBoxes:
Hi I’m the Time virus
I don’t like Your COMMAND.COM and AUTOEXEC.BAT
Play with me !! :-)
You have 1 Minute time to find me

AutoExec, AutoOpen, FileSave, FileSaveAs, ToolsMacro, ToolsCustomize

The virus infects files that are opened (AutoOpen) or saved (FileSave, FileSaveAs).
This virus is very dangerous. On starting MS Word (macros AutoExec) the virus checks the system date and time. If day number is 20 or above and current hour is 11 or above, the virus display the text:

It then deletes all files in all subdirectories (except \WINDOWS, \WINWORD and \WINWORD6) and creates the file C:\PESAN.TXT and writes following message to there:

di direktori WINDOWS dan WINWORD telah hilang, jangan kaget, ini bukan
ulah Anda, tapi ini hasil pekerjaan saya…Barang siapa yang berhasil

virus ini untuk Anda !!! Dan tentu saja saya akan terus datang kesini
untuk memberi Anda salam dengan virus-virus terbaru dari saya…selamat !

The virus also disables Word menus Tools/Macro and Tools/Customize. In its macros the virus keeps destructive routine that never receives control, while accessing the Tools/Macro and Tools/Customize menus that routine displays the MessageBox:
Err@#*(c)
Fail on step 29296

and replaces all “a” characters with “#@” within current document.
Bandung.Rapi
This is a variant of “Bandung” virus. The file erasing routine is disabled (that code presents as comments). Instead of the C:\PESAN.TXT file this virus creates the C:\BACALH.TXT file and writes the text to there:
Assalamualaikum …, maaf @Rapi.Kom mengganggu anda sebentar. Pesan
ini aslinya bernama PESAN.TXT yang muncul di root direktori
setelah anda menjalankan Winword 6.0 yang templatenya (normal.dot)
telah tertulari macro menjijikkan ini. Macro ini (sebelum
@Rapi.Kom modifikasi) berasal dari file data Winword 6.0 (*.doc)
yang telah tertular macro ini. Bila file data tersebut di pangggil
(Open doc), maka macro secara otomatis menjalankan perintah-perintah
macro lain nya, yang antara lain mengcopykan diri ke global
template (normal.dot), juga pada tanggal dan jam tertentu akan
menghapus semua data di direktori tingkat 1, 2 dan 3 (kecuali Hidden
direktori), menjengkelkan bukan ?!. Siapapun pembuatnya pastilah
orang yang sirik !, masih banyak perbuatan baik lain yang bisa
kita kerjakan. … Malang, @Rapi.Kom”

is the same as in case of original “Bandung” virus.
Infected documents and infected NORMAL.DOT contain different sets of macros:
Document ¦ NORMAL.DOT
RpAE ¦ RpAE AutoExec
RpFO ¦ RpFO FileOpen
RpFS ¦ RpFS FileSave
RpTC ¦ RpTC ToolsCustomize
RpTM ¦ RpTM ToolsMacro
RpFSA ¦ RpFSA FileSaveAs
AutoOpen ¦ RpAO

The virus infects the files on FileOpen, FileSave and FileSaveAs calls. On FileOpen calls the virus also displays MessageBox with the text:
@Rapi.Kom
Thank’s for joining with us !

The macros RpTM (ToolsMacro) and RpTC (ToolsCustomize) are corrupted, and while accessing the Word menus Tools/Macro and Tools/Customize the system may halt.
