Macro.Word97.Trojan.Tvangeste

Description Macro.Word97.Trojan.Tvangeste

This is a Trojan horse written as a MS Word97 macro-program. When it is activated, it appends to the end of a AUTOEXEC.BAT file a set of commands that delete all data on the C:,D:,E: drives. It then displays the following messages:
World War starting now!
Tvangeste v 1.0
3rd World War

It then goes into an endless loop displaying the following message:
3rd World War

Macro.Word97.Trojan.Tvangeste.b
This macro-Trojan saves the copy of an infected document with the name "C:Program FilesMicrosoft Office?"--ëkafeln.dot" and appends to the end of AUTOEXEC.BAT file the commands:
cd C:Program FilesMicrosoft Office?"--ëdel normal.dot
ren kafeln.dot normal.dot

In this way, this Trojan tries to replace a normal template with an infected one, but it works only in case the Russian version of MS Word is installed, and the templates directory is "C:Program FilesMicrosoft Office?"--ë".
The Trojan also appends to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file the commands:
md c:atp_tour
md c:atp_tourkafelnik.001
md c:atp_toursampras.002
md c:atp_tourcorretja.003
md c:atp_tour after.004
md c:atp_tourmoya.006
md c:atp_tourhenman.007
md c:atp_tour ios.008
md c:atp_tourphilipou.009
md c:atp_tourkucera.010
md c:atp_tourkrajicek.005
subst k: c:atp_tour >nul

Then it displays messages in Russian and:
Tvangeste v 2.0
Kafelnikov

Angela

Description Angela

This is a multipartite virus infecting hard drive MBR sector, floppy drives boot sector, DOS EXE file as well as spreading via IRC channels by infecting the mIRC client, as well as mailing itself by using MS Outlook.
The virus may appear on a computer on an infected floppy disk, as an infected DOS EXE file, or as an infected attachment in an e-mail message.
The virus has no payloads and does not manifest itself in any way except one - it deletes the file:
C:WINDOWSSYSTEMIOSUBSYSHSFLOP.PDR
The virus needs to delete this file to force Windows to operate the floppy-disk sectors by using an old-style INT 13h way (this is necessary for thevirus to run its disk infection and stealth routines, see below).
Booting from an infected disk
Upon loading from an infected disk, the virus hooks INT 13h (disk access) and INT 1Ch (timer). By using a timer hook, the virus waits until a system is booting up, then hooks INT 21h (DOS functions) and infects DOS EXE files that are executed. By hooking INT 13h, the virus gets access to floppy disks and infects their boot sectors. The virus also realizes {stealth:Stealth} a function upon accessing infected disk sectors.
Infected DOS EXE file run
Upon being run from an infected DOS EXE file, the virus infects the hard drive's MBR sector, creates and registers its DOS EXE dropper, creates a VBS script program to spread with e-mail, and creates an mIRC script to be sent to IRC channels.
The virus dropper has the ANGELA.EXE name and is created in the C:WINDOWSSYSTEM directory (If Windows is installed in another directory, the virus cannot spread to IRC and in e-mail). This file is registered to be run upon each rebooting in the C:AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The virus writes a command to there to run this file upon each reboot, and adds comments to that file:
@ECHO OFF
c:windowssystemangela.exe
REM - DO NOT REMOVE!
The virus dropper does the same as the virus does in infected DOS EXE file does; i.e., if any of the virus components (VBS or mIRC script) are deleted, the virus will re-create it upon the next reboot.
Mailing
The virus creates the ANGELA.VBS file in the Windows start-up directory, and as a result, this script is activated upon each Windows boot-up. The program in the script access MS Outlook obtains address book records, and sends a virus copy (the ANGELA.EXE dropper) to the first 20 addresses that are found there. The message has:
Subject: Finally found it!
Body: Here are the files you asked me forall
Attachment name: angela.exe
The script then deletes its VBS file, and there are no more infected messages sent during the same Windows seance, but upon he tnext computer reboot, the ANGELA.EXE dropper will be activated from AUTOEXEC.BAT, and it will re-create the VBS mailing routine.
Infecting IRC channels
The virus creates the SCRIPT.INI file in the C:MIRC directory. This script sends an ANGELA.EXE dropper to all users that join the infected IRC channel.
