New Bagle worms crawl through old Microsoft hole - Computerworld: "Antivirus companies issued software updates and alerts about Bagle.Q, R, S and T. The new versions of the worm, which first appeared in January, don't carry file attachments containing the virus. Instead, they use a months-old Windows security hole to break into vulnerable machines.
'It's really nasty. Just previewing a message in an e-mail client could download the virus to your computer,' said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos PLC in Abingdon, U.K. "
