Alert to control the spread of WORM_NETSKY.AB. TrendLabs has received several

Virus Alert to control the spread of WORM_BAGLE.Z. TrendLabs has received
several infection reports indicating that this malware is spreading in Europe
and the US.
This BAGLE variant propagates via email and network shares. It drops a copy

The attachment it sends out can have COM, CPL, EXE, HTA, SCR, VBS, and ZIP

in folders that contain the string "shar" in their folder names. It also has
backdoor capabilities. It creates a separate thread and listens to port 2535
for remote commands.
This UPX-compressed malware runs on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, and XP.
