More Information

WM97/ColdApe-A is a simple Word macro that replicates on AutoClose. The only point of interest is the malicious Visual Basic Script that is dropped. The variants drop slightly different scripts, mailing a message to the former editor of Virus Bulletin. The script uses Outlook Express to send the message through an anonymous remailer. The text of the message is "Dear Nicky ... my name is and I want to make hot monkey love with you. You anti-virus stud!".
