Description: Details
Macro.Excel.Dado.a

This is an Italian macro-virus infecting Excel sheets. It contains five macros in one module "conciente": auto_abrir, auto_cerrar, infectar, vv1, and contamina.
The virus infects a system by creating an infected PERSONAL.XLM file in the Excel startup directory. To infect other sheets, the virus hooks their activation procedure. Upon closing a file, the virus saves it without any alert messages.
The virus was named after the comment present in the virus macros:
Dado Error IrA terminar

On Fridays at 16:30, the virus displays the MessageBox:
GRACIAS A DIOS ES VIERNES !!!
FAVOR DE APAGAR SU COMPUTADOR Y QUE TENGA UN BUEN FIN DE SEMANA
