W32/Bagle.Q@MM (aka W32/Beagle.O@MM)Symantec Last Updated 3/18/04 11:30AM
Several new variants of the W32/bagle@mm email virus are in the wild. W32/Bagle.q@MM, W32/Bagle.r@MM, W32/Bagle.s@MM, and W32/Bagle.t@MM are all mass-mailing HTML email worms.
The email contains HTML code that will propagate when the email is opened. The HTML email uses a Microsoft Internet Explorer vulnerability described in security bulletin MS04-004 to download the worm on port 81 without requiring user intervention/action.

WHAT ABOUT OTHER WARNINGS?
You might get other warnings like a message from a site saying "The following message had attachment(s) which contained viruses". You look at it and know you did not send an email to that person.
Same thing - when the virus gets in a computer it raids the address book - it then send mail to and forges mail from everyone in the address book.
