I think I have no idea what I'm doing.

This macro virus seems to be made with VicodinES's Macro Virus Construction Kit. It will display a message on 14th of any month after May. Infection process might be confusing as it may infect documents and workbooks (and worksheets) in various ways.

In short: It will infect Word documents (and Normal template) whenever possible and Excel workbooks only if they are opened.

Take note that this is pretty much how I've figured out, but it might be still inaccurate as I didn't check whole mechanism, in some ways it feels like the code would perform in a different way.
