The e-mail does not even need to be opened.. If you see it in your mail,
delete at once. I know it showed up earlier today in my mail, unopened, and
sent the virus out immediately to one of my groups in Yahoogroups.. I have all
attachments sent to a folder in OE.. I disabled my System Restore and scanned
my computer with my anti-virus program after updating my 'virus definitions'
for the day (I have the virus definitions updated each day at 12:30 AM, and
downloaded the new one about 1 hour ago..), and an on-line anti-virus program..
I think I am OK now, since the definitions are updated.. Just wanting you all
to be aware, and update your virus definitions ASAP..
Hope this helps somebody.. Tina

W32/Bagle-mm spreading rapidly
During 18th and 19th January 2004, MessageLabs, the email security
company, intercepted a significant number of copies of a new virus known
as W32/Bagle-mm. The majority of intercepted copies have been sent from
Australia.
Name: W32/Bagle-mm
Aliases: I-Worm.Bagle, W32/Bagle@MM, W32.Beagle.A@mm,
W32/Bagle-A, Bagle, WORM_BAGLE.A
General
The worm arrives as an attachment to an email and has a random filename,
with a .exe extension.
W32/Bagle-mm searches the infected machine for email addresses and then
uses its own SMTP engine to send itself to the addresses found.
Email Characteristics
Subject: Hi
Text: Test =)
Attached file: <random name>.exe
The attached file may appear as a calculator icon.
The worm deliberately launches the Calculator application as a disguise.
W32/Bagle-A copies itself to bbeagle.exe in the Windows system folder and
sets the following registry entry to ensure the worm is run at logon:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\d3dupdate.exe
The worm also sets the following registry entries:
HKCU\Software\Windows98\uid
HKCU\Software\Windows98\frun
W32/Bagle-A includes a backdoor component which listens on TCP port 6777.
This allows an attacker to upload and execute arbitrary programs on infected
computers.
