============================================================================ PC Viruses in the Wild - January 10, 1996 ============================================================================ This is a cooperative listing of viruses reported as being in the wild by 37 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. This report is cumulative. That is, this is not just a report of which 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 me know when I should remove their name from a virus that they haven't seen in a year and a half or so. 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 current being used as the basis for in-the-wild virus testing of antivirus products by Virus Bulletin and the NCSA (National Computer Security Association). Additionally, a virus collection based upon the WildList is being used in an effort to standardize the naming of common viruses. The WildList - (c)1993-1996 by Joe Wells - jwells@vcnet.com ============================================================================ The section below gives the names of participants, along with their geographic region, organization, and antivirus product (if any).

Technically, this first list is "the" WildList according to my original specification, which required viruses to be verified in the wild by a minimum of two participants. A supplemental list follows that contains viruses reported by single participants. If a virus listed has minor variants, but no specific variant letter is attached, the virus meant is the .A variant. Viruses marked with a plus sign (+) are new to the main list this month.

============================================================================ Supplemental List ============================================================================ As was noted at the start of the main list, this list is not, technically, part of "The WildList" as I have defined it. 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 off the main list this month.

============================================================================ Special Notice: During December, the WildList went through some major refinements and standardizing in the way it's produced. First, it is now being created from a database with comprehensive information on each virus. Second, in a step toward assuring quality, 3 CARO members (Jimmy Kuo, Paul Ducklin, and Dave Chess) have agreed to act as peer-reviewers of the WildList. Third, in order to help maintain the WildList's integrity, Dr. Richard Ford of the NCSA has agreed to act as the WildList's ombudsman. I wish to thank these four especially for their practical advice and encouragement. And thanks also to all my fellow CARO members for their continuing input. ============================================================================ Release Notes for the 10 January 1996 list: New participants to the list are Alan Candy in New Zealand, Gerard Mannig in France, and Richard Foley in Ireland. With this release, Robert Vibert is now reporting on Canada and Joost de Raeymaeker takes over for Portugal, which Robert was doing before. Notable changes since the November 1995 list include a steady increase in people reporting Concept, a sudden surge in Manzon reports, and the appearance of Chance.B, Diablo, and Feint on the main WildList with three or more participants reporting them. I am continuously seeking WildList participants for regional reporting, especially in Central and South America, Spain, former Soviet republics, and the Far East. Such new participants will need to be in a position where they can monitor and verify virus incidents. People who develop av products are best suited. People who represent one or more av products (agents) and provide localized support may also be qualified if they actually verify the viruses or forward samples to developers. If you thus qualify, please send your name, location, organization, product name, favorite brand of beer, and references (preferably CARO members who know you). Send the information to jwells@vcnet.com. Thanks. ============================================================================ The collation of this list is done by Joe Wells, virus specialist at IBM's T.J.Watson Research Center, who is solely responsible for its contents. The latest WildList is always posted directly by me to the NCSA Security forum on Compuserve, in the Virus Info/Tools library. The official archive location for the WildList is ftp.ncsa.com in pub/virus/wildlist. The WildList, along with some virus descriptions and reports based on the list, can be found at http://www.symantec.com/virus/wl.html. Several other av web sites also have the list. The WildList is copyright material, but may be freely quoted or cited in part or in whole. No permission is needed to reprint the list. All mail in regard to the WildList should be sent to jwells@vcnet.com.
