XLS Corruption Due to Laroux Virus
|
Firstly, this virus makes use of the auto_open to gain control over, which holds a command defining check_files macro. This macro handles OnSheetActivate routine and gains access over PERSONAl.XLS in the startup directory of MS Excel application, thereby acting the source of corruption for each workbook afterwards. If PERSONAL.XLS doesn't exist, then the virus retains the power to create one also. Actually, this saves its infecting code to the file which uses the SaveAs command. Now for each new file you will create, the modules will get loaded along with the infected PERSONAL.XLS and will corrupt the workbook. For the active workbook, if the active macro is not infected the virus copies the notorious code to the active sheet and hence infects it. The real downtime is XLS corruption and ultimately the inaccessible data. So the phrase 'Always have the anti-virus software' is not meant for mere theory pages, but actually requires application. The recent updates of the anti-virus program are also necessary. Viruses always stand as threat the application files, with the unique code and way of attacking the files. But the smart user is always there with the protection shield, creating immunity to the system. However, the breakage to the system always destroys this immunity and viruses do infect the application file, like in this case, XLS files get corrupt.
