    Talk to TheHorse13. Yesterday in IRC he mentioned Details.cpl being received. A use of strings command on Linux resulted in the attached file.

    Sounds like this one.

    Edit: Scratch that. Dumped your file and it doesn't even remotely look like W32/NetSky-AB. Will get back soon...

    Hmm

    AVG and eTrust EZ armor didn't spot it, and I updated them both today.

    From some of the strings it appears to come from 29a, but I havent had a chance to find their website to see if they mention it.

    Cheers

    You might wanna search for a file called cplstub.exe in your %windir%. That's the file it drops.

    Looks very similar to my strings list...

    It is confrimed as W32/Bagle.aa@MM!

    McAfee beta DAT picks it up, but not their current one (4353)

    DAT file 4354, to be released late today or tommorrow will detect it.

    So far We've seen no adverse effects with using the beta DAT if anyone else wants to take the risk.

    More user education required.

    Yup, I know, and it opens a port & contacts a number of sites....

    <sigh> That'll be my nice spam free email address out in the wild - I just bet you!

    After looking over a large sample of e-mails, my little group of e-mails turned out to be a tweaked version of this:

    The updated AntiVir files, (downloaded 5 minutes ago), detects it immediately.

    Yeah & they've raised it to medium risk, looks like my phone call to them may have been worthwhile.
