SECURITY NEWS: New Trojan rides into town (BagleDl-U Trojan)
A Trojan horse has been spammed out to millions of email addresses around the world in an attempt to disable anti-virus and other security software. Experts at SophosLabs said that the spammed out email messages, which have no subject line, typically carry the message text "new price" and an attached file which can have one of several names, including "09_price.zip", "price_new.zip", and "price2.zip".
The attached ZIP files all contain the malicious BagleDl-U Trojan horse. If launched, the Trojan horse makes changes to the registry, and attempts to turn off anti-virus and security-related software on the infected computer, opening the door for attack by remote hackers.
