Macro.Office97.Jerk family
These are multi-platform macro-viruses infecting Office97 components: Word documents and Excel workbooks and sheets. The viruses contain two auto-macros in Excel sheets and Word documents: Document_Close in Word documents, and Workbook_Deactivate in case of Excel workbook or Worksheet_Deactivate in case of Excel sheet.
The viruses replicate themselves in Excel upon deactivating workbooks. In Word, the viruses replicate upon document closing. Upon spreading, the viruses infect not only "native" objects, but also export their code to another Office component if it is installed in the system.
The viruses turn off the VirusProtection MS Office option.
Each month from June to December on the 14th ,the "Jerk.a" virus displays the message:
Class.Poppy
I think is a big stupid jerk!
On the same date "Jerk.b" and "Jerk.d" display an encrypted variant of the same message:
