W97M/ColdApe

Posted: September 5, 2007

W97M/ColdApe is a macro virus that combines VBS virus and Visual Basic for Application virus techniques. W97M/ColdApe is also one of the first viruses that use the "AddFromString" method to infect documents. Once it is executed, W97M/ColdApe will perform the check for the presence of the comment "AVM" in the Normal Template. If this does not exist, W97M/ColdApe will infect the GlobalTemplate (usually Normal.dot) in the "ThisDocument" stream, thus, all documents that are opened will be infected with this virus.
