If you are going to make me cry, at least be there to wipe away the tears
*Right now the worst thing for you to tell me that I can find someone better
thanyou, especially when you are all I want

You don't know what youÆve got till it's gone *You hurt me more than I
deserve, how can you be so cruel? I love you more thanyou deserve, how can
I be such a fool?

I sit with elders of a gentle race, whose world is seldom seen.Who sit and
talk of days for which they wait, when all will be revealed. These are song

W32/Bagle-G opens up a backdoor on port 2745 and listens for connections. If it receives the appropriate command it attempts to download and execute a file. The worm also makes a web connection to a remote URL, thus reporting the location and open port of infected computers.

If the date is after 25 March 2005, W32/Bagle-G terminates itself and deletes all the registry entries it created when it first ran.
