Hello and thank you for your mail.
F-Prot Antivirus does indeed detect Bagle.B:
http://www.f-prot.com/virusinfo/descriptions/bagle_b.html
However, according to the information you have given us, you are using the
DOS scanner on Windows XP. This is the problem with running a DOS antivirus
scanner on a Windows NT 4.0 / 2000 / 2003 / XP systems. It is not guaranteed
that all files will be scanned. The reason for this has mainly to do with
long filenames and non-ASCII characters in file names. DOS only
"understands" 8 character long filenames.
Therefore use the OnDemandScanner scanner to scan Windows NT 4.0 / 2000 /
2003 / XP systems. You can also use the command line scanner: fpcmd.exe.
You use the same command lines as for the DOS scanner
Best regards,

Subject: FRISK-T-20040218-0054 (Suspicious)
Problem Description
Type:
Suspicious
Description:
I scanned a suspicious file my wife had as atachement with an email. F-prot
didn't alert. When I was sending to mcaffee online service, they recognized
the file as 'W32/Bagle.b@MM'. As you see above I updated my signature files
but f-prot still didn't recognise it, thought I've seen at your web-site
that the virus is known since february the 17th. It makes me feel a bit
unsecure to use F-Prot.
best regards
