This is a small virus using the AutoOpen macro to infect and spread. Any system able to run MS-Word can be affected. The Wazzu Macro virus is propagating via MS-Word documents. Infected documents can be delivered using any available transport method including floppy disk, network transfer, and E-mail. The payload is currently known to be a possible modification of document contents.
Macro viruses spread easily through E-mail packages.
The ability of these packages to send and quickly launch documents can infect hundreds of users at a time. This virus uses the AutoOpen macro file and is therefore operating system independent. When the Wazzu virus is active and a document is opened using MS-Word, the AutoOpen macro proceeds to infect the newly opened document. Infected documents may exhibit minor modifications. All infected documents insist on being saved in the template directory.
