Re: ATM Hi (This is the work of the Beagle worm)

[mdholm@telerama.com]

I went over my computer very thoroughly last night using three methods, and did 
not find any evidence of the Beagle worm on it.  Now we have messages 
purporting to be from me and from Richard Schwartz but in fact both coming from 
the Beagle worm.

It seems likely that someone on the ATM list does have an infected computer.  
It will be a Windows machine, because that is Beagle's environment.  You can 
download a free, fairly small and fast program that checks for and removes 
Beagle from

There are also manual ways to check for Beagle.  They are documented at

Symantec reports that some users have reported simultanious infection with  
Trojan.Mitglieder.C  This little jewel opens an email relay on your machine 
that spammers can use to hide their tracks by sending spam through your machine.
