W32/Bagle-W

Please follow the instructions for removing worms.

Windows NT/2000/XP/2003

In Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 you will also need to edit the following registry entry. The removal of this entry is optional in Windows 95/98/Me. Please read the warning about editing the registry.

At the taskbar, click Start|Run. Type 'Regedit' and press Return. The registry editor opens.

Before you edit the registry, you should make a backup. On the 'Registry' menu, click 'Export Registry File'. In the 'Export range' panel, click 'All', then save your registry as Backup.

Locate the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE entry:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
drvsys.exe = drvsys.exe

and delete it if it exists.

Close the registry editor.

W32/Bagle-W is a member of the W32/Bagle family of worms.

When first run W32/Bagle-W will display a fake error message containing the text "Can't find a viewer associated with the file".

W32/Bagle-W copies itself to the Windows system folder with the filename drvsys.exe and then runs the worm from that location.

The following registry entry is created so that the worm is run when a user logs on to Windows:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
drvsys.exe = drvsys.exe

W32/Bagle-W recursively scans all fixed drives for WAB, TXT, MSG, HTM, SHTM, STM, XML, DBX, MBX, MDX, EML, NCH, MMF, ODS, CFG, ASP, PHP, WSH, ADB, TBB, SHT, XLS, OFT, UIN, CGI, MHT, DHTM and JSP files and then extracts email addresses from these files to be used for the mass mailing component of the worm.

The email sent by the worm will have the following characteristics:
