New Bagledl-l Damages Security Software


Recommended Posts

New BagleDl-L damages security software = "The variant, BagleDl-L, is a Trojan horse that damages security applications and attempts to connect with a number of Web sites. According to antivirus companies F-Secure and Sophos, these Web sites currently contain no malicious code, but both companies believe this could soon change.

"Any Trojan horse which turns off your antivirus or firewall can open you up to further attack, even by very old viruses," Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant for Sophos, said in a statement. "This Trojan horse is aiming to take advantage of people's reflex reaction when they receive an executable file via email. Users who want to install software on their computer should be receiving it from their IT department, not from friends at other companies or potentially dangerous spam mailings."
