Code:

The Bagle worm has been resurrected, and in the past couple of hours there

have been 3 new variants discovered.  The biggest threat is that they appear

to be coming in waves, and there could be a LOT of activity from these

variants, and others.



All of them are non-destructive, and send themselves via e-mail.  The

require you to open an attachment that looks like a harmless one because the

icon looks like a Windows program (word, notepad, etc.).



Unless you are sure that the attachment came from a trusted person, and

remember that the sender's address is faked by the worm, do not open them!

And update your virus protection. If it is done automatically, Make sure it has done this for you. ;)

They are getting sneakier here is a copy of the e-mail that my company got sent ( with the worm. I saved a copy first then scanned the Zip first and caught it (even though it looked like it was from a trusted source.

Code:
