WM97/Marker-JX (Sophos)
Overview
Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2001 17:53:47 (GMT)
Name: WM97/Marker-JX
Type: Word 97 macro virus
At the time of writing Sophos has received just one report of
this virus from the wild.
Description: WM97/Marker-JX is a variant of the WM97/Marker-A virus. It
creates a file called JON.HTML in the Windows directory (usually
C:\WINDOWS under Windows 95/98 or C:\WINNT under Windows NT),
and reconfigures Internet Explorer's desktop to use this HTML
file.
The virus deletes all .DOC files and .DOT files in the Word
application startup directory, although documents are not
normally stored in this directory.
The virus also changes the user settings of Word, including
changing the ownership of Word to JonMMx 2000. These settings
can be corrected in the ToolsOptionsUser Information menu
within Microsoft Word.
