>5. W97M_ASSILEM.B (a.k.a. W97M/Melissa.W)
>------------------------------------------------------------------------
>W97M_ASSILEM.B is an old variant of Melissa, which was recently
>found and spread in a Microsoft Office 2001 for Macintosh document
>(Filename: aniv.doc; though this may vary).
>Similar to other Melissa variants, this virus mass-mails itself
>to the first 50 users found in the Microsoft Outlook address book.
>This old Melissa variant also contains a payload, which activates
>when the current system day is equal to the current system time (minute
>field). If this is true, the following text is added to the active document:
>
>"Twenty-two points, plus triple-word-score, plus fifty points for
>using all my letters. Game's over. I'm outta here."
>
>For additional information about this Melissa variant, please refer to:
>http://www.antivirus.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/default5.asp?VName=W97M_ASSILEM.B
>
>W97M_Assilem.B is detected and removed with Trend engine 5.220 and Trend
>pattern #836 and above. Trend Scan Engine 5.220 is not yet released, but
>is available
>upon request to Virus_Doctor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
>
>
>6. VBS_DAVINIA.A: Setting the Record Straight
>------------------------------------------------------------------------
>VBS_DAVINIA.A is a new Visual Basic Script worm, which was recently
>hyped by another antivirus vendor. Since its initial discovery, no Trend
>Micro customer has been infected with this worm.
>In this regard, VBS_DAVINIA was never the "next Loveletter" virus,
>as it was hyped by another company.
>
>To read additional information about VBS_DAVINIA, please refer to:
>http://www.antivirus.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/default5.asp?VName=VBS_DAVINIA.A
