 W32.Beagle.M@mm
Posted on Sunday, March 14 @ 20:47:02 PST by Fido
A new variant of the Beagle virus is spreading rapidly and currently has a Catagory 3 rating. The W32.Beagle.M@mm is a polymorphic mass-mailing worm that uses its own SMTP engine to spread through email. Like previous Beagle variants, this worm opens a backdoor (it listens on TCP port 2556), and attempts to spread through file-sharing networks by copying itself to folders that contain "shar" in their names. W32.Beagle.M@mm also infects files with the EXE extension. Symantec has released a new tool to remove the virus which can be downloaded here.
