Description

Win32.Bagle.CX is a worm that spreads via e-mail. Rather than putting itself in e-mail attachments, it uses a separate downloader component (called Win32.Glieder.CE), which attempts to download and run files from several hard-coded URLs. If the Bagle.CX program is placed in one of these URLs, it can spread as a two-stage e-mail worm. Bagle.CX is a 21,287-byte executable.
