============================================================================ PC Viruses in the Wild - August, 1999 ============================================================================ This is a cooperative listing of viruses reported as being in the wild by 55 virus information professionals. The basis for these reports are virus incidents where a sample was received, and positively identified by the participant. Rumors and unverified reports have been excluded. Some hostile programs included in this list may fall outside the traditional definition of a computer virus. However, such programs are spreading throughout diverse user populations, are a threat to users and are therefore included in this list. This report is cumulative. That is, this is not just a report of which viruses were seen last month. Monthly data is received from most participants, but the new data is added to the old. Participants are expected to let us know when to remove their name from a virus. The list should not be considered a list of "the most common viruses", however, since no specific provision is made for a commonness factor. This data indicates only "which" viruses are in the wild, but viruses reported by many (or most) participants are obviously widespread. The WildList is currently being used as the basis for in-the-wild virus testing and certification of anti-virus products by the ICSA, Virus Bulletin and Secure Computing. Additionally, a virus collection based upon the WildList is being used in an effort to standardize the naming of common viruses.

============================================================================ Supplemental List ============================================================================ As was noted at the start of the main list, this list is not technically part of "The WildList", as originally defined. By design, the WildList is a list of viruses verified as being in the wild by a minimum of two WildList participants. The viruses listed below do not currently meet that criteria. This additional list includes viruses reported by a single participant and are often either moving onto the main list, or dropping off of it. Please note especially that this list also tends to be more of a regional reporting mechanism. For example, a virus is often reported as very common by one regional participant, but is found nowhere else in the world. Viruses marked with a minus sign (-) dropped from the main list this month. Viruses marked with a plus sign (+) are new to the supplemental list this month.

============================================================================ Total for both lists: 322 ============================================================================ WildList Sorted by Frequency ============================================================================ This is not a prevalence table. It does not show how common each virus is. Rather it is the WildList sorted by the number of participants that report each virus. This section gives the names, types, and aliases of the most frequently reported viruses. These viruses have been reported by at least one third of WildList participants. They are sorted with the most frequently reported first. A more complete alias list is also provided.

Bruce steps in for Jonathan Wheat. WLO welcomes EICAR and -- once again -- Eddy Willems. Eddy recently accepted a dual role in WLO by reporting for both Data Alert International and now EICAR -- European Institue for Computer Anti-Virus Research. WLO welcomes Gerald Batten of Sensible Security Solutions (SSS). Gerald steps in for Robert Vibert. Robert continues on as a reporter to WLO, however, providing virus incident reports independent of SSS. WLO welcomes Sha-Li Hsieh of Computer Associates. Sha-Li will report virus incidents occuring in the US and abroad as discovered by Inoculate IT. WLO welcomes Tzvetan 'Ceco' Chaliavski of Command Software. Ceco will report virus incidents occuring in the US and abroad as discovered by F-Prot Pro. The following viruses -- originally on the supplemental list -- fell completely from the August '99 WildList: Creed.5209 WM/Johnny.V Little_Red.1465.A WM/KMT.A Moloch WM/MDMA.D Prosp.1712.A WM/Npad.HL W2KM/Ethan.A WM/Paycheck.L W32/Coke.22231.A X97M/Laroux.HK W97M/Class.S XM/Laroux.HJ WM/CAP.GG * REGARDING W95/CIH.1003 (mistakenly referred to as the Chernobyl virus) "Chernobyl" is a name popularized by the press. No product uses this name. The name Chernobyl is viewed as "incorrect" by AV vendors. ============================================================================ The WildList is collated by board members of WildList Organization International.
