ClamAV picked it up quickly - a freshclam at Aug 9 17:54 UCT included its signature, after the first two to hit me didn't get trapped. <http://isc.sans.org/diary.php?date=2004-08-09> <cite> Handler's Diary August 9th 2004 Updated August 9th 2004 18:59 UTC * New Bagle (?) Variant Spreading New Bagle Variant Spreading (PRELIMINARY) We received a number of reports about a new virus. Based on a quick string analysis, we assume that this will be classified as a new member of the 'Bagle' family. Like prior versions, it includes a lengthy list of URLs. Infected systems will likely attempt to contact these URLs. All samples received so far arrive without subject. Attachment names are price2.zip, new__price.zip, 08_price.zip, and likely others. The text reads 'price' or 'new price'. According to handler Tom Liston, the virus installs itself as C:\WINDOWS\System32\WINdirect.exe and runs from HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\win_upd2.exe </cite> -- Alan J.
