We have seen the first attempt to create a macro virus affecting StarOffice. The code does not contain any damaging payload. It only tries to open an image hosted on Internet. The image is currently unreachable.
VirusScan currently detects this threat as StartOffice/StarDust.intd. The intd suffix means we are quite convinced that the author intended to create a virus, but failed.

Macro viruses were in the news from 1995 to 2001. They generally affected the Microsoft Office environment. Macro viruses have fallen out of favor and have been insignificant over the past 5 years.

The code is signed with a pseudonym. In 2001, a person using the same pseudonym indicated online that he lived in Germany.
