INFORMATION ABOUT THE CAP
VIRUS
The CAP virus is contracted through Microsoft Word documents consisting of
several encrypted macros and generally will leave the below message within the
comments:
'C.A.P: Un virus social.. y ahora digital..
'"j4cKy Qw3rTy" (jqw3rty@hotmail.com).
'Venezuela, Maracay, Dic 1996.
'P.D. Que haces gochito ? Nunca seras Simon Bolivar.. Bolsa !
One of the noticeable effects that CAP has is that when saving your document,
no matter what type of format you are attempting to save your documents in, it will
always save the documents in the DOC extension, even if you save as a
different format.
When infecting your computer, CAP will delete all currently installed
macros on your computer and will modify up to five already-existing menus, redirecting
the menus to the virus code. Fortunately, most latest virus scanners can detect and clean
the CAP virus; however, unfortunately all of the macros that have been deleted cannot be
recovered from your computer.
