Cap virus.
 Information
about the Cap virus:
This virus infects Word documents, templates and the NORMAL.DOT file
of Word 6 and Word for Windows 95. The virus code is contained in 10 macros
named "CAP", "AutoExec", "AutoOpen", "FileSave",
"FileSaveAs", "FileClose", "FileOpen", "AutoClose",
"FileTemplates" and "ToolsMacro". Cap is a stealth
macro virus. Its macro code is encrypted.
When the first infected document is opened by Word the virus gets control
and it checks whether the Global Template file (NORMAL.DOT) is infected.
If it is not infected then the virus copies its macros to NORMAL.DOT and
there by infecting it. Then onwards the virus will be infecting all the
new document files created in that computer.
Cap virus alters the menus of Word to hide its presence. It does not
let the user save the file in the RTF format.
Cap virus first appeared in May 1997 and it is in the wild.
