The only reason my system is clean now is because I had to re-partition my Bootcamp drive and reinstall Windows (audio driver problems, tried to update Bootcamp drivers, install hung, bricked my Windows bootup. Somehow my system obviously got infected by something that remained undetected and cause damage. Whether that was it or not remains a mystery. I then realized that it was likely spam, ran WSA (which is always running anyways) and nothing came up.

I did receive a pdf file from a contact a few months ago that I tried to open but it didn't do anything. But I did not receive (to my recollection) any previous email like that, and certainly nothing I clicked on.

I agree with your first statement, in that if I did get a similar email from someone else and clicked on the macro, I would have expected whatever VBA code that ran, and infected my system, to get flagged by WSA.

Performance of various software in detecting it. Personally I have Macro's disabled in all Office Programs!Ī computer genius friend of mine determined this: WSA doesn't scan word doc's as they are harmless but if Macro's are enabled then it could download the payload then WSA would detect the payload. It could of downloaded a payload when the users open the said Word Doc. No, only from you and it's hard to say where and how as we can only do so much on the Community so a Support Ticket is always the best way. But the virus had already scraped my email credentials, and just the other day it sent out the malware attachment.ĭo you suppose it's any use to have one of my contacts forward the bugged email to WSA support? I don't have the email or attachment myself since it wasn't generated from my computer. I reinstalled Bootcamp about a week ago for completely unrelated reasons, and by reformatting that partition I would have wiped any sign of it. So likely some other similarly purposed malware was on my system and avoided detection from WSA and Windows Defender at the time. Presumably, I must have received the Trojan in a similar way days, weeks or months prior. The email my clients received contained a word doc named simply. What a still have WSA installed on all my devices, but the file that was emailed out was never on my computer in that form. Just pointing this out and hoping it doesn't happen to anyone else. I don't know if the Webroot trojan database is not up to date, or whether Trend Micro is simply more capable of catching this. The client system (Trend Micro) identified the trojan, and I was notified by them, but it was too late. Many of these contacts were not in my address book, and the malware was clever enough to simply mask the phony email as a "reply" to the most recent legitimate email in each thread.

Malicious emails were sent to people I'd had recent conversations with, some of who were expecting documentation from me, so they assumed the attachment was safe and opened it which then infected their system. The source was Russia, and by then they had the email password and access to my account, which means they knew who I'd been recently communicating with. I had to reinstall my OS for other reasons (the wonders of Bootcamp), so subsequent scans with Webroot, Trend Micro and Windows Defender are clean. Webroot did not catch this on my system during numerous system scans on multiple devices. The attachment contained the above mentioned trojan which also goes by: Just a heads up, my business email account suspiciously sent out numerous emails yesterday morning to clients with a Word doc attachment.
