More Information

XM97/Divi-A is an Excel spreadsheet macro virus. It creates a file called BASE5874.XLS in the Excel template directory, and will infect other spreadsheets as they are opened or closed.

The virus adds a flag, in the form of a variable called IVID plus a hexadecimal number, to each file as it is infected. The virus uses this flag to determine whether the spreadsheet has already been infected.
