To get a one-glance comprehensive view of the behavior of this macro virus, refer to the Behavior Diagram shown below.
Malware Overview
This macro virus usually arrives on a system as a Microsoft Word document file dropped by other malware, or as a file downloaded by an unsuspecting user when visiting malicious Web sites. It may also arrive as a .ZIP archived attachment of a manually mass-mailed email message. The attached .ZIP file contains the malicious file, MY_NOTEBOOK.DOC.
When the .DOC file is opened, it uses the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macros to drop and execute the file 666INSE_1.EXE in the root folder (usually C:\). Trend Micro detects the said file as TROJ_DLOADER.BKV.
There are two macro routines embedded in the said .DOC file. The first macro uses standard VBA commands to call the second macro routine. The second macro drops the TROJ_DLOADER.BKV. The previous action allows the dropped Trojan to perform its routines on the affected system.
