PC Viruses in the Wild

WildList Organization International

November, 1999


This is a cooperative listing of viruses reported as being in the wild by 57 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 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.

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 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 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.

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 15 WildList participants. They are sorted with the most frequently reported first.

Other

The WildList is a list of viruses which have been reported as spreading In the Wild. Sometimes WLO receives reports of programs which, according to the various reporters, may not fit strictly into the viral category, but which have been brought to their attention by concerned users. The following programs fall into that category
  BackOrifice_2000........[...............]  11/99 PnStXc

  Badass.Worm.............[Naughty_Donkey.]  11/99 PnSh

  DUNpws.W.Trojan.........[Kuang.C........]   9/99 AkTc

Release notes for the November WildList

Note the new section named 'Other'. So far, two programs originally listed (SubSeven.backdoor.v18 and W95/Fix2001) in the supplemental section of The WildList have been moved to the Other section. Furthermore, both have changed in name:
    SubSeven.backdoor.v18   ->      Subseven.Backdoor

    W95/Fix2001             ->      W32/Fix2001.Worm

Subseven.Backdoor refers generically to both Subseven.Backdoor.v18 and Subseven.Backdoor.v19

Note the addition of group identifier 'Zb'. This is WLO's second corporate reporting group. WLO welcomes each of the participants who make up this group.

There are two minor name changes. Both changes were made for name- alignment purposes only.

Little_Red.1465 changes in name to Little_Red.1465.A
HLLP.Toadie.7800 changes in name to HLLP.Toadie.7800.A

W97M/Jerk.A appears in the supplemental list as W97M/..., with O97M/... as its alias. This virus does not fail to replicate under Excel, however becomes very apparent when it does. Thus far only the W97M/ component is reported as in-the-wild.

The following viruses -- originally on the supplemental list -- fell completely from the November '99 WildList:
