Bagle.Q-T - Read an Email, Get Infested

By , About.com GuideMarch 18, 2004

Follow me on:

Do you think you're safe from worms and viruses if you never open an attachment? Unfortunately, that's not true. The Bagle worms Bagle.Q - Bagle.T can infect your computer if you just open an infested email. A critical vulnerability in Internet Explorer -- used in many email programs to display emails -- allows them to execute code in the background.
If you have patched your computer for this vulnerability, you are not at risk. If unsure, visit Windows Update and make sure you install all critical updates before you read your emails today.
