I'm well aware that a filename usually isn't a very useful tools when tracking down virus infection. However, it was all there was to go off of, so I ventured out on Google for a minute or two and posted back the results. It's wasn't just "drivel" mind you. More like a friendly report from the information at hand. A little respect isn't that difficult. =) Maybe saying "once again I'll remind you" instead of "folks with intellect have to point out", for example. I doubt the original posted lacks intellect. I'm quite sure I don't either. In fact, those that have to point out they don't usually have some issues. Glad the mystery was solved however. This reply isn't meant to be a "flame" in any way, so please don't treat it as such... It is just a mere explination of actions. -- Peace. ~G On Sun, 19 Sep 2004 11:25:05 +1200, Nick FitzGerald <nick () virus-l demon co uk> wrote:

FWIW, the .ZIP the OP received contains a new Glieder or Mitglieder variant, which may mean a new, as yet undetected, Bagle variant is out there or may be about to be released. -- Nick FitzGerald Computer Virus Consulting Ltd.
