Message body:
Empty.
Attachment:
A ZIP file with a random name, with a file size of 15994 bytes. The zipped file contains an EXE file with a random name and and Excel icon.
Installation
Once launched, the worm copies itself and all components to the Windows system directory under the names 'readme.exe', 'onde.exe', doc.exe' and 'readme.exeopen' and then registers 'readme.exe' in the system registry auto-run key:
[HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun
"gouday.exe" = "%system% eadme.exe"]
Also creates the following registry key:
[HKCUSOFTWAREDataTime2]
and saves its variables there.
The worm attempts to connect to a number of remote sites, storing information about the infected machine on theses sites.
Bagle.c executes the default Windows 'Notepad' program, notepad.exe, tricking users into believing the program they just executed "does something".
Propagation
The worm searches for files with the following extensions:
adb
asp
cfg
dbx
eml
htm
html
mdx
mmf
nch
ods
php
pl
sht
txt
wab
and send itself to all email addresses found in these files. The worm uses its own SMTP server to send email.
Remote administration
The worm opens and monitors port 2745. A backdoor function means that commands can then be executed and files can be downloaded on the victim computer, with all of this being done from a remote location.
Other
The worm attempts to block antivirus database updates by terminating the following processes:
ATUPDATER.EXE
ATUPDATER.EXE
AUPDATE.EXE
AUTODOWN.EXE
AUTOTRACE.EXE
AUTOUPDATE.EXE
AVLTMAIN.EXE
AVPUPD.EXE
AVWUPD32.EXE

DRWEBUPW.EXE
ICSSUPPNT.EXE
ICSUPP95.EXE
LUALL.EXE
MCUPDATE.EXE
