Since the threat appeared outside business hours in the United States, Trend Micro believes the virus was contained relatively quickly and should pose only a minor threat to the large corporations that it was likely aimed at.

However, Perry highlighted the fact that the most dangerous time of the year for viruses, which typically stretches from March until May, is about to begin. He said the resurgence of Bagle, which has cooled down over the last few months, may be tied to the one year anniversary of the threat's launch in 2004.

Ah spring, when a young man's fancy turns to .... sitting in his room writing evil code.

Yeah, this Beagle/Bagle worm has varianted twice through the alphabet. I didn't think this nasty had been around that long, but there it is.

I'm starting to find some variants of trojans that aren't being immediately detected.
