Beagle Worm

[jeffsod]

I have gotten this new Beagle worm a couple of times at my office. If you haven't seen it you should be forwarned just receiving the message is bad as there is no attachement that needs to be opened. I am no expert on this stuff but an article I read mentioned the message using html once in your computer it goes out to a host server and downloads the virus. What I want to know is if anyone knows where or what the outlook patch name is that came out last october to prevent this from happening. I just want to be sure my home computer is protected. The other one that came out Saturday that operates in a similar way called the Witty worm is more destructive and wrecks your hard drive by overwriting it with giberish. Great. There is something to look forward too.

There is no Outlook patch per se for this. This linkhas all of the info on this virus. as long as you don't open the attachment you should be fine

Yes, Rocklobsta that is the Beagle Worm I was referring too. One does not have to do anything to get infected. There is no attachement to open.
