You wrote it wrong in symantec, its BAGLE, not BEAGLE....

Bagle and Beagle are the same....they're known as different aliases according to the company that produces the AV.

For Norton, w32.bagle.az@mm is also known as Beagle.AR

Symantec Security Response - W32.Bagle.AR@mm

Removal instructions are listed there or you can download the removal tool to get rid of it for you.

Hope this helps,

well i sorted my problem with bagle at least for now...

as after talking to my friend i found out he no longer uses the email address the virus was spoofing infact he now longer even uses the domain i just blacklisted the whole domain at the mailserver.  (it was his own domain so dont have to worry about blocking legitmate emails from others)

i'll consider unblacklisting it in the future but for now it cut down dramaticly on the amount of virus infected emails i'm getting.



and yes i looked up the ip of the sender and tryed to get hold of the people responcible for that ip but never got any success so ive taken the step above
