Hello This message is for all the polish users, and for all of you that are reading my email.
PLEASE REMOVE MY ADDRESS FROM YOUR ADDRESS BOOK (if it is there), and CHECK YOUR COMPUTER FOR VIRUSES. Please also set Outlook Express in order that it doesn't put automatically all email addresses in its address book. Here comes the explaination for that I'm asking. First of all I'm sorry for bothering you, but there's a BIG problem that affects one of the polish subscribers to this list. The problem is that the computer is seriously compromised by a Virus: that's the Bagle.AH virus. This virus exploits a bug from Outlook Express to spread itself through email. It actually sends hundreds of emails with itself as attachment. There's also another problem: it uses a FAKE email address in the "from" field, so it seems that the sender is someone else. Maybe now you're wondering whay is MY problem... Actually MY problem is that this virus is using MY OWN email address ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) to spread through email, and I'm getting complaints about that from dozens of ESN sections from all the Europe. As I told before, the virus comes from a polish user of our list. The originating IP address is: 62.179.55.245 The "infected" user connects from Warszawa, and its provider is UPC Telewizja Kablowa (Chello Poland). Here there are some details about that virus: Bagle.AH is a worm that affects Windows XP/2000/NT computers only. Bagle.AH opens and listens to a TCP port, waiting for remote connections. By doing so, it allows hackers to gain remote control over the affected computer in order to carry out malicious actions that would compromise user's confidentiality or impede normal work. Bagle.AH ends processes belonging to antivirus programs and firewalls, among others. This leaves the affected computer vulnerable to the attack of other malware. Additionally, this worm connects to several web pages that contain a PHP script. It also eliminates the entries in the Windows Registry belonging to several variants of the worm Netsky. Bagle.AH spreads via e-mail in a message with variable characteristics and through peer-to-peer file sharing programs (P2P).
