'Bagle' or 'Beagle' Virus?
Anti-virus technicians said on Wednesday that 'Bagle', the latest e-mail virus to hit global computer users, was in decline and no longer considered a major threat. However now the threat seems to be diminishing, fresh confusion over the virus's name has sparked a debate among virus technicians.
[blockquote]"What I would like to see is everybody using the same naming scheme," said Alex Shipp, senior anti-virus technologist with MessageLabs, a UK-based e-mail virus detection firm.
"It's confusing if you think your anti-virus software has you protected against one virus and then you hear on the radio it's called something else," Shipp said.
