    Name: WM97/Story-AD
    Type: Word 97 macro virus
    Date: 19 January 2001

    Will be detected by Sophos Anti-Virus March 2001 (3.43) or
    later. A virus identity (IDE) file is available for earlier
    versions.

    At the time of writing Sophos has received just one report of
    this virus from the wild.

    Description:

    WM97/Story-AD is a variant of the WM97/Story Word macro virus.

    If C:\MIRC\MIRC32.EXE exists WM97/Story-AD will delete the file
    SCRIPT.INI from the C:\MIRC subdirectory.

    It will then write a new SCRIPT.INI file containing the
    mIRC/Story virus.

    The active document within Word will be saved as
    C:\WINDOWS\STORY.DOC if it does not already exist.

    mIRC/Story will send the infected Word document
    C:\WINDOWS\STORY.DOC to the currently connected IRC (Internet
    Relay Chat) channel.

    The script then sends boastful messages to various email
    addresses.
