Bagle virus spreads in empty e-mails
By
Here is another virus that, once activated, sends itself out to all the e-mail addresses it finds on the computer’s hard drive. Norton and other virus scanners have an update to the virus definitions that was released today. Patch up and say trojan free!
Another variant of the computer virus Bagle has quickly been making its way across the net, say security experts.
Anti-virus firm MessageLabs gave it a “high outbreak” rating after it caught more than 850,000 copies by Wednesday.
The Bagle bug arrives as an empty e-mail. If the attachment is opened, it releases a trojan which downloads the actual virus from various locations.
