New versions of the Mydoom, Netsky, and Bagle have all appeared on the Internet in the last 24 hours. Antivirus researchers have uncovered text messages in two of the worms that suggest a battle is underway between virus writers, antivirus companies say.

Examples of Netsky.F, Bagle.K ,and Mydoom.H were isolated on Wednesday, according to antivirus company F-Secure.

Spiced with foul language and bad spelling, the messages portray a playground-style brawl between the authors, with the Internet worms acting as messengers.

"Hey, Netsky...don't ruine (sp) our bussiness (sp), wanna start a war?" reads a message in the Bagle.J worm's code, according to Sophos.

A message found in Netsky.F reads: "Skynet AntiVirus -- Bagle - you are a looser (sp)!!!!," and the recent Mydoom.G virus also includes hidden comments critical of the Netsky worm, F-Secure says.
