Re: W32.Netsky-B.worm spreading (name may vary)

Just (reluctantly) got off the phone with NAI, after being told that my problem was a missing hotfix. However, I'm convinced that something else is wrong with this DAT on WebShield SMTP. None of my gateways are detecting Bagle, and they appear to be detecting Netsky only as corrupted messages (which they are thankfully configured to block).

The only thing that's keeping me sane right now is the fact that the same DAT on my Groupshield systems is detecting both without fail. And a test against a client system indicates that the same DAT on VirusScan 7 systems is also effective (although nothing should be getting that far).

No coincidence. All of my gateways stopped alerting on Bagle after applying this DAT. On the phone with NAI right now...

Hi All,

This is a heads up.

A small modification of NetSky-A has started spreading in some

european

countries. Check your favorite AV-vendor for further details.
