A brief summery of this virus: The recipient of Bagle.BB receives a bogus e-mail with a spoofed sender address, which, for example, may appear to come from a legitimate friend, business associate or family member. The subject header from the spoofed sender will contain such greetings as "Hello," "Thank you!" and "Thanks :)." As with a number of viruses, it spreads when the recipient opens the e-mail attachment. The executable name of the attachment is listed as "price," "Price" or "Joke," according to McAfee.

When people warn about things in the subject box I never know what they mean as my e-mails just come straight up. I never open an attachment though unless I know where it is from. Chrissie
