Ethan Description
Ethan is a macro virus that is designed to infect Word 97 documents, templates and the NORMAL.DOT file of Word 97. To spread, Ethan generates a file with the name "c:\ethan.___". Ethan uses an effective way to hide its code. It uses special WordBasic operators that help Ethan install its module into Word classes. Then Ethan code is appended as a native Word component. As a result the Ethan virus is not visible in the Tools/Macro menu.How can I get rid of Ethan?
The most common spyware removal tactic is to uninstall Ethan by using the "Add/Remove Programs" utility. However, as there may still be hidden Ethan files, it's possible that Ethan will reappear after reboot. Follow the Ethan detection and removal methods below.
