BAGLE Worm update many new downloaders detected by Kaspersky. The F worm was brand new when in came another new sample (one I received at work). Even more were received showing some big activity is going on.

KAV were already detecting it already as Trojan-Downloader.Win32.BAGLE.g This downloader looked like the same downloader just slightly repackaged. Many such attacks can be done, or simply recompile with a few changes. KAV are reporting therefore, that the controllers are updating their botnets.

Worm SOBER.X
Very important. The worm is still spreading wildly, has been for days. PLEASE read Technical details section #23 on the link WORM SOBER.X above. This explains how SOBER and other worms trick users - why people click. There are many variations so reading this explains just how sneaky the bad guys are. This worm is mostly working well because of this tactic. Emails like this are called social engineering.
