Latest Bagle varient spreads in password protected rar files

[Rose, Bobby]

Well considering that we had people email asking what to use now that password protected zips are blocked, we suggested winrar which also has password protection.  Some researchers tend to want to transfer stuff securely to other researchers at other institutions and had been using Winzip.  Now may be using winrar in light of Bagle.
