From; Sophos Alert System:

Name: W32/Bagle-W
Aliases: W32/Bagle.z@MM, Win32/Bagle.X
Type: Win32 worm
Date: 27 April 2004

A virus identity (IDE) file which provides protection is
available now from the Sophos website, and will be incorporated
into the June 2004 (3.82) release of Sophos Anti-Virus.

Customers using Enterprise Manager, PureMessage and any 
of the Sophos small business solutions will be automatically
protected at their next scheduled update.


Sophos has received several reports of this worm from the wild.


Note: This IDE is being updated to improve detection.

Information about W32/Bagle-W can be found at:
http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/w32baglew.html
Description 
W32/Bagle-W is a member of the W32/Bagle family of worms. 
When first run W32/Bagle-W will display a fake error message containing the
text "Can't find a viewer associated with the file". 

W32/Bagle-W copies itself to the Windows system folder with the filename
drvsys.exe and then runs the worm from that location. 

The following registry entry is created so that the worm is run when a user
logs on to Windows: 

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
drvsys.exe = drvsys.exe 

W32/Bagle-W recursively scans all fixed drives for WAB, TXT, MSG, HTM, SHTM,
STM, XML, DBX, MBX, MDX, EML, NCH, MMF, ODS, CFG, ASP, PHP, WSH, ADB, TBB,
SHT, XLS, OFT, UIN, CGI, MHT, DHTM and JSP files and then extracts email
addresses from these files to be used for the mass mailing component of the
worm. 

The email sent by the worm will have the following characteristics: 

Subject line may contain the following text:
