Per their blog, Kaspersky has received a couple of Cabir variants with a threat from the author.
Something about having the source code and releasing more dangerous versions of Cabir.
As 29a has been getting attention from the authorities lately and with rumors about the arrest of some of its members, I doubt Vallez is the one making such a threat.
according to Kaspersky, the new variants have not managed as yet to disable the OS install warning.
I do not currently have samples of these variants.

On a side note, McAfee has added a generic detection for Cabir as of the 22 of December.
