Brief Description

In addition, Bagle.E ends the processes belonging to several antivirus update applications.

This worm only runs if the system date is March 14, 2004 or previous. After this date, Bagle.E stops functioning.

Bagle.E is easy to recognize once it has affected the computer, as it opens Notepad the first time it is run.
