This is the biggest divergence i've seen the last months. 
Is there any 
reason, why the vendors could not agree on one name? We 
already have 
CVE-entries and Bugtraq-IDs for vulnerabilities.

So far I noticed at least two distinct files which were 
detected as W32/Bable.AP@mm (F-Prot) or Worm.Bagle.AT (ClamAV).

Now I get freash trash Which is decoded as W32/Bagle.AQ@mm 
(F-Prot) or Worm.Bagle.AX (ClamAV).

I am under the impression it is not a single infection.

But I share your sense of utter confusion. To which the 
people of ClamAV have contributed way too much. (Noticed 
their 'SomeFool'series?)
