Dear Trend Micro Customer:

As of 1:08 AM PST, March 18, 2004, TrendLabs has declared a Yellow Alert to
control the spread of PE_BAGLE.Q. 
TrendLabs has received numerous infection reports of this malware spreading
in Korea and Japan.  

This new BAGLE variant is capable of infecting files. It propagates via
email in two ways. The first is by sending emails, 
which do not have an attachment. Instead it contains a link, which upon
opening the email, starts a series of events that 
eventually downloads this file infector into the system. The second is that
the email may contain varying subjects, 
message bodies, and attachment file names, just like its earlier variants.

TrendLabs will be releasing the following EPS deliverables: 

TMCM Outbreak Prevention Policy 95
Official Pattern Release 826 
Damage Cleanup Template  292 


Please inform us if there are any infection reports in your region.
