As the name states it is a _macro_ virus. I only took a brief look at
the MS Word macro language. But it seems to be quite powerfull since
it defines commands like "exec" (imagine using this one with debug.exe).
BTW : Ansibombs can't work under Windows since ANSI.SYS (which is
nescessary to execute ansi code) expects ansi code send to CON (standart
output). Windows however since being a GUI writes the ansi sequenze
direktly in the video memory. So ANSI.SYS does not even get a chance
to look at it.
