Beware the Beagle Worm!

The Beagle (also known as Bagel) Worm has reared its ugly head again, this time in the form W32/Bagle.j@MM. This worm has hit many CoachVille members and staffers hard; here's some basic information on it to help you avoid it:

The Beagle Worm only effects machines with the Windows Operating System; Mac OS and Unix computers are not effected.

This is a mass-mailing worm with the following characteristics (Copyright 2004 Network Associates):

• contains its own SMTP engine to construct outgoing messages

• harvests email addresses from the victim machine

• the From: address of messages is spoofed

• attachment is likely a password-protected zip file, with the password included in the message body.

• contains a remote access component (notification is sent to hacker)

The message-bodies are constructed with several parts, to effectively customize the email, to make it appear to be a legitimate warning notification. 

If you get an email like this, don't open the attachment...delete the message as soon as possible! Also, make sure your virus protection is up to date. The major virus protection software makers all have updates for this destructive worm available for download on their respective sites.

If you think that you may be infected with Beagle.j, and are unsure how to check your system, you may download the Stinger tool from McAfee to scan your system and remove the virus if present. Please note that this is not a substitute for appropriate virus protection!
