Yah, "Bagle.C" is the notation used by F-Secure. This is indeed what it
was.
It's annoying how easily these things spread even though they don't rely on
a specific OS vulnerabililty -- hell, it's an executable *in a zipfile*, so
it requires opening the zipfile and then running the program inside it. Of
course everyone will run it, even though it's named dygfwefuih.exe (random
characters before .exe). <grumble>
