Like Bagle.AQ infected messages of two weeks ago, a flood of infected e-mails started hitting users' mailboxes Tuesday bearing the subject line "foto", and an unencrypted zip file "foto.zip".
However, it doesn't seem to be able to get much farther than the initial spam. The zip file contains an HTML file that when executed drops downloader component on the victim's machine, which attempts to connect to one of many web sites to download the worm portion The new virus, first identified by Trend Micro Inc. as Worm_Bagle.AI appeared to have been seeded, or spammed to many users, but due to problems with the web sites that carry the propagation code, it hasn't spread further.
