A new outbreak of Sober may be coming, security experts have warned, even as e-mail systems worldwide work to get rid of the last infestation of the mass-mailing worm.
The Sober attack expected later this week is unlikely to have much effect on company systems, antivirus experts predicted.
Anti-virus firms have cracked an algorithm that was being used by the Sober worm to 'communicate' with its author.
The Sober.P worm stopped spreading across the Internet on Tuesday after virus writers remotely silenced thousands of infected computers overnight, experts said on Friday.
One in every 22 e-mails circulating the Internet on Wednesday contained the latest version of the Sober worm, according to latest statistics from a UK antivirus company.
