Automatic Updates for Worms?

by admin on April 18th, 2006

F-Secure Corp. is reporting that computers infected with one of the Bagle worm varients may receive automatic updates for the worm from the infamous Bagle spam gang.

The Bagle worm enables a hacker to download other malicious programs to the infected computer which can then be sent out as spam from that computer without the owners knowledge.
