I-Worm.Bagle.al
Bagle.al is a worm that spreads as an email attachment and via file sharing networks.
Copies itself into the Windows system directory with the name windll.exe and registers the following system registry auto run key:
[HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "erthgdr"="%system%\windll.exe"
Bagle.al creates two additional files in the Windows system folder: windll.exeopen; windll.exeopenopen
The worm uses a built-in SMTP server to mail copies of itself to all email addresses founded on the infected computer.
Bagle.al opens port 80 on the local HTTP server allowing the controller to download and execute files on the infected machine.
The worm component of Bagle.al is scheduled to stop functioning and slef-destruct after August 10, 2004.
However, the downloader module will remain available for possible use for an unspecified period of time.
Remove it from startup by RegRun Startup Optimizer.
