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.

geographic region, organization, and antivirus product (if any). The
locations with an asterisk (*) note that the reports are regional, all
others being multinational or global.

The WildList
============================================================================
This main list includes viruses reported by multiple participants, which
appear to be non-regional in nature. 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.

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.

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 [email protected]. 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.
The WildList is copyright material, but may be freely quoted or cited in
