Idsxls Work

Sophisticated malware uses "VBA Stomping" (also known as VBA Purge). The attacker removes the parsed VBA code (the ProjectStream) but leaves the unparsed source code (CompressedSourceCode). Most antivirus scans the ProjectStream, finding nothing. IDSxls allows you to view the raw streams directly. If you see a CompressedSourceCode stream but no ProjectStream, you have identified stomped macros.
