A spammer has struck with two waves of the BagleDL-U Trojan


       
   
Two waves of spam were launched this week using a new variant of the 
Bagle Trojan, according to antivirus company Sophos.

The BagleDL-U trojan tries to turn off antivirus and security software 
and block access to security Web sites, in an attempt to strip away a 
PC's immune system and allow hackers to gain access, Sophos said in a 
statement.
