W97M/Replog.A

W97M/Replog.A is a macro virus operating in the Microsoft Word 97 environment. It uses the "class" method of infection – it attacks the module "ThisDocument" which is present as a standard in each Word document or template. It attacks the global template normal.dot and Word documents.
After opening an infected document W97M/Replog.A tries to run the program I:\Eudora\Sys\Server.exe. After that it attacks the global template and attacks documents at their opening.
The virus keeps a log file about infecting documents in the file I:\Rep.log.
Always when it attacks a document it marks it into the file by a line Active on xxxxx, where the letters xxxxx are replaced by current time and date.
