    It also appears that the writers of Bagel are in a war of words with the writers of NetSky. The following was found in the code of Bagel-J:

    "Hey,NetSky, **** off you bitch, don't ruine our bussiness, wanna start a war?"

    Gotta say Bagel-J is impressive albeit annoying.
    Watch out!:(

    Got this today, an email from a "support@" for my own .ie domain.

    "Dear user of "YourDomain.ie" mailing system,

    Our main mailing server will be temporary unavaible for next two days,
    to continue receiving mail in these days you have to configure our free
    auto-forwarding service.

    For further details see the attach.

    The Management,
    The Yourdomain.ie team http://www.YourDomain.ie"

    What does it do, and how do you get shot of it? It came with a .pif attachment called "MoreInfo.pif"

    Your fine so long as you DONT run the attachment!
    Just delete it.
    Do NOT forward it to anyone.
    You might think about sending an information message to the administrators for that domain.

    IE Internet Virus Notification
    03/03/2004, 12:18

    A new virus - called Win32.Bagle.K - has begun to spread across the internet. It has been designed in such a way as to bypass the majority of anti-virus scanners currently available. This notification serves to highlight the existence of the virus and how to recognise it. IE Internet are dynamically updating your Anti-Virus Protection System as new variants and formats of this malicious virus become known.


    We strongly recommend that you delete any emails you receive which match the description below


    Description:

    You will recognise the virus by the fact that it will contain an attachment which may be in the format of an encrypted, or password protected, zip file. If it is encrypted, the email will ask you to input the password contained in the body of your email. The attachment may end in .exe, .pif or .zip.

    The email will seem to be coming from your domain name. For example if my domain is www.mydomain.com the email may seem to be coming from:

    - staff@mydomain.com
    - management@mydomain.com
    - administration@mydomain.com
    - noreply@mydomain.com
    - support@mydomain.com

    Some (but not all) of the common subject lines of the virus include:

    - E-mail account security warning
    - Notify about using the e-mail account
    - E-mail account disabling warning
    - Warning about your e-mail account
    - Important notify about your e-mail account
    - Email account utilization warning
    - Notify about your e-mail account utilization

    The body of the email may contain any one of the following paragraphs:

    - Your e-mail account has been temporary disabled because of unauthorized access
    - Your e-mail account will be disabled because of improper using in next three days, if you are still wishing to use it, please, resign your account information
    - Our main mailing server will be temporary unavaible for next two days, to continue receiving mail in these days you have to configure our free auto-forwarding service
    - Some of our clients complained about the spam (negative e-mail content) outgoing from your e-mail account. Probably, you have been infected by a proxy-relay trojan server. In order to keep your computer safe, follow the instructions
    - We warn you about some attacks on your e-mail account. Your computer may contain viruses, in order to keep your computer and e-mail account safe, please, follow the instructions
    - Our antivirus software has detected a large amount of viruses outgoing from your email account, you may use our free anti-virus tool to clean up your computer software

    If you open the attachment and then input the password given to you in the body of the email you will infect your PC with this virus. The virus - actually called a worm - may then send itself to everyone in your address book.
