bugbear variant

["Bruhn, Mark S." <mbruhn () INDIANA EDU>]

I received a phone call a short while ago from DHS, indicating that a
new variant of Bugbear was spreading, mostly among financial
institutions.  That's all they told me.  We haven't received reports of
infections here at IU yet.

But, information about it can be found at
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.bugbear.b () mm html, or
probably also at your favorite AV vendor site .
