In October 1999 a new type of macro virus has has been discovered that infects Microsoft Office 97 and Microsoft Word 2000 Word document files and Microsoft Project 98 project files. The virus is named W97M/Corner.A in infected documents and P98M/Corner.A in infected projects. Even though the virus does not carry any payload, in depth study of the viruscode reveals that the author has tried to include mass-mailing replication in which he did not succeed. Due to advanced reserach, Norman Data Defense Systems' world renowed anti-virus product range already has been able to provide a solution to this latest threat for more than a year.
