NEW Variant Of Bagle Virus Spreading Fast

A new variant of the Bagle.BO or BagleDI-Q (Mitglieder.DC family of Trojans ) downloader virus is on the loose. This malware appears to have originated from a Yahoo Groups address. Unsuspecting computer users trigger the downloader by opening the file, which arrives as an E-mail attachment. The downloader installs a Trojan program that checks a preset list of Web sites for updates and other files that it can download and execute.

The downloader also disables virus-protection programs and forwards itself to E-mail addresses stored on the victim´s computer.
