Beagle Virus - The mass mailer!

Kaspersky Lab North America Free Trials

The beagle virus has been known as either a worm or a Trojan virus.  This virus has many different variations to its name. 

Usually it begins with the W32 prefix.  The worm form of the virus is famous for being a mass mailing virus.  It creates a backdoor into computers to deliver the payload.

This virus can affect all windows computers and was first seen in 2004.  More variations of the beagle virus are being found all the time.

The Trojan form of the virus is an email address gatherer.  This virus will attack a computer to steal email addresses from whatever email program a computer may have. 

It will then execute code to send these addresses to a remote location or website.

              

                    

                                

Please keep in mind that worm and Trojan viruses are among the worst and most damaging to personal computers worldwide.

The goal of the beagle family of viruses seems to be spam.  Delivering unwanted junk email to millions of computer users around the globe.

This virus can also spread quickly through file sharing networks like Limewire.  They seem to place themselves into directories that contain the word “shar” in their name.  Then users download them unsuspectingly.

The beagle virus can and will also try to hide itself from personal computer firewalls by using DLL files of mailing programs.

The virus arrives as an attachment which should not be opened for any reason and should be deleted upon arrival. 

Once a computer is infected, the virus will then send a signal to hackers letting them know another computer has been compromised and they may proceed.

The worm version of the virus is easily removed with anti virus software while the Trojan may not be so easy. 

For the Trojan version you may need to delete values from the windows registry.  All in all it should not be too bad to remove.
