Details
Macro with Startup Hook
Detected macro logic that will automatically execute on document open. Most malware contains some execution hook.
Macro with File System Write
Detected macro logic that can write data to the file system.
Macro Contains Suspicious String
Detected a macro with a suspicious string. Suspicious strings include privileged function calls, obfuscations, odd registry keys, etc...
Macro with DLL Reference
Detected macro logic that will load additional functionality from Dynamically Linked Libraries (DLLs). While not explicitly malicious, this is a common tactic for accessing APIs that are not otherwised exposed via Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).
