Actually, there are several new Beable variants out since yesterday - the latest updates covers them all.... (and yes - there is a big naming mess in the latest variants from different AV companies)...

Was such naming ever used? What when you'll use all the letters? This year is really full of worms and viruses. But its kinda pointless since AVs detect them easily.

Well, that's easy - after .Z you will get .AA, .AB,.. .AZ, then .BA and so on and after .ZZ comes .AAA  :D

Actually, some macro viruses families came quite close to three letter variants...

got this from Trend today:

  PE_BAGLE.P

This virus searches for files with certain extension names, from which it gathers target recipients. Using its own SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) engine, it sends out email messages with a spoofed return address to the gathered email addresses and adds itself as an attachment.

This virus also spreads by dropping files in folders that have the text string "shar", for example, C:\Program Files\Kazaa\My Shared Folder. It attempts to prevent the automatic execution of NETSKY variants by deleting certain registry entries.

It has backdoor capabilities. It opens TCP port 2556 and waits for incoming commands from a remote user, who must send specially-crafted data or packets to be able to command this virus.

It also has the ability to terminate certain process, which are usually related to antivirus and firewall applications.

It runs on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000 and XP.
