Removed Outbreak Warning for Bagle.AA

Follow-Up: Bagle.AA Consensus Points to Medium, Not High

In watching risk statuses closely over the past few years, I've noticed one think, and that is that some companies just happen to receive more companies of a given worm than others. This ends up in a certain virus being given a Medium-High risk rating when companies that usually tend to be more liberal with risk assessments still rate it only Medium. This seems to be the case with W32/Bagle.AA-mm, which is probably more Medium at this point than Medium-High.

The worm appeared a while ago and was rated Medium-On-Watch by McAfee, but Medium by nearly every other company. This is not an inaccuracy, but just a case of McAfee receiving an unusual number of submissions (current stats rate it at #7 for submissions in its pure .exe form.)

Thus, I have removed the graphic from the left side of the page. Next time an outbreak warning is submitted, I'm going to try to make the picture smaller since it caused problems at low resolutions. Sorry about that.

On another note, I would like to stress that outbreak warnings are little more than notifications of important outbreaks. They aren't scientific, nor should they be used as a meter for the level of risk for a certain virus.
