============================================================================ PC Viruses in the Wild - October 10, 1995 ============================================================================ This is a cooperative listing of viruses reported as being in the wild by 33 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 - Joe Wells - WildList@aol.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. Viruses marked with a plus sign (+) are new to the main list this month.

============================================================================ Total for the WildList: 180 ============================================================================ 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.

============================================================================ Total for both lists: 324 ============================================================================ Release Notes for the 10 October 1995 list: New participants to the list are Amir Elbaz in Israel (whose reports are international), Ferenc Leitold in Hungary, and Ruban Arias in Argentina. With this list, Seiji Murakami replaces Richard Head for Jade Corp. This release corrects some errors in the September 10th release: I've changed Stealth_Fighter:RDA to Fighter.5871:APE; and pulled a 2nd entry for that virus; I've restored Manzon.1449, which was inadvertently removed from the main list; and I've moved Ian Walley's report of Viresc to the Jumper.B row, since Viresc is an yet another alias for that virus; my report of PCBB.1784 (IBMAV name) has been added to Three_Tunes.1784; and Espejo has been corrected to the CARO name, 15_Years. The official CARO name for the new Word macro virus is Concept. Aliases include Prank Macro, WinWord.Concept, WordMacro.Concept, and WW6Macro. 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 wildlist@aol.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.
