Both Trend Micro and Network Associates report a new worm - WORM_BAGLE.A
(Trend Micro) or W32/Bagle@MM (Networks Associates/VirusScan).  This
worm arrives as an e-mail with attachment with the subject as "Hi" and
the text as -

   Test =)
  (random characters)

  Test, yep.

It will have an attachment with a random file name.  If run between now
and January 28th, it will install itself within the system and begin
generating and mailing copies of itself to e-mail addresses found within
the system.  It also acts as a Trojan by opening a port and listening
for further commands, and by checking for commands from various web
sites.  Further information may be obtained from -
