PC Viruses in the Wild - January, 1998
============================================================================
This is a cooperative listing of viruses reported as being in the wild
by 46 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 currently being used as the basis for in-the-wild
virus testing of antivirus products by 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 - (c)1993-1998 by Joe Wells - [email protected]
============================================================================
The section below gives the names of participants, along with their
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.
If a virus listed has minor variants, but no specific variant letter is
attached, the virus meant is the .A variant.
Please note that all the MS Word macro viruses are grouped under WM.name.
+ 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 we 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.

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 one third
of the WildList participants. They are sorted with the most frequently
reported first. A more complete alias list is also provided.

Release notes for the January list:
Invisible_Man.2926 moved to the WildList from the supplemental list, where
it was reported under two different names.
We are continuously seeking WildList participants, especially for regional
reporting in the following countries:
Bulgaria, Chile, China, Greece, Indonesia, Philippines, Saudi Arabia,
Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, Turkey, and Ukraine.
Such new participants will need to be in a position where they can
monitor and verify virus incidents. People who develop antivirus
products are best suited. People who represent one or more antivirus
products (agents) and provide localized support may also be qualified
if they actually verify the viruses or forward samples to developers.
If you qualify, please send your name, country, organization, product
name, and references (preferably from other professionals in the
industry.) Please send the information to [email protected].
============================================================================
The list is collated by board members of the WildList Organization
International, which is solely responsible for its contents.
A complete archive of WildLists is available at the Virus Bulletin
web site (http://www.virusbtn.com/WildLists/index.html.)
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 queries about the WildList should be sent to [email protected].
