Abstract | Nowadays, applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc are very popular. Almost everybody uses these applications. These applications are often supported by macro language and Visual Basic Application. Based on macro language and Visual Basic Application, the macro viruses are written. The more advanced a Visual Basic Application the more easily it is to write Macro Virus for it. Macro viruses represent the newest virus category and are spreading faster than any previous category of viruses. This research analyzes the structure of applications that support macro language and Visual Basic Application. We analyze the behavior of Macro Virus through Macro Virus source code and various virus detection techniques. From these studies, we can get the methods and tool for Macro Virus detection and system protection. We also present a demonstration of a simple Anti-Macro Virus tool that can detect Macro Viruses and let users perform basic operations against these viruses - analysis, file locking and deletion. |
