Description: Details
Macro.Excel.Extras.a

This virus infects Excel sheets. It contains fiveteen functions in one random named module: Auto_help, Auto_Open, Auto_Close, Auto_Exit and others with random names.
While infecting sheets the virus copies its module with a randomly selected name. While infecting Excel the virus creates an infected sheet in the Excel startup directory. The name of this sheet depends on the installed system:
System File name
------ ---------
Windows 3.xx EXTRAS.XLS
Macintosh Macintosh Extras
Windows 95/NT/all Windows Extras.xls

Depending on the system random counter the virus creates directories with random selected names. Starting from 1999 the virus hides the selected Excel menus randomly.
