This is an encrypted macro virus. It contains three original macros, but while infecting it copies it with 8 different names to global macros area and with 4 names to documents. While copying the virus selects random name to hide its macros:

Documents   NORMAL.DOT
Macro1:   AutoOpen    xxxxxLove
xxxxxLove
Macro2:   xxxxxAnik   xxxxxAnik
FileClose
Macro3:   xxxxx1109   xxxxx1109
ToolsMacro
Organizer
ToolsCustomize
FileTemplates
where "xxxxx" are random strings.

The virus infects the system on AutoOpen call and writes itself to files on AutoClose. Macro3 is a payload macro and it disables Tools/Macro, Tools/Customize and File/Templates menus as well as Organizer. On these calls the virus displays the MessageBox:

Microsoft Word
You try to Kill me...hah!, I beat your Keyboard!
It then changes the keyboard layout.

The virus also creates new variables in system profiles (WIN.INI file) in [Intl] section:

Code_Name=WORDMACRO.TENFACES
Creator=Creator of NoMercy!
Dedicated=My Love, Anik AY
