What is the Beagle.S worm?

Beagle.S is a variant of Beagle.O. This worm attempts to send an HTML email to addresses found in files on an infected computer. The email does not contain an attachment of the worm. Instead, the HTML email uses the Microsoft Internet Explorer Object Tag Vulnerability that allows for the automatic download and execution of a file hosted on a remote Web site. This file is a copy of the worm, but may change in the future.

The worm also opens a backdoor, starts a Web server on TCP port 81 to serve the worm, and attempts to spread through file-sharing networks by copying itself to the folders with "shar" in their names. The worm is also a file infector that appends itself to the .exe files found in the c:\emails folder on the computer.

Also known as: W32/Bagle.s@MM, PE_BAGLE.S, W32/Bagle-S, Win32.Bagle.S
