Messagelabs said on Tuesday that although it has intercepted more than 2.5 million copies of the most recent Bagle variant, the damage could have been far more severe had the same worm been released two years ago.
The Bagle computer virus has almost finished off the alphabet. Virus writers' penchant for modifying the source code for the program has resulted in four new variants--Bagle.Q, Bagle.R, Bagle.S and Bagle.T--in the past two days, antivirus firms said on Thursday.

Security company Symantec raised its severity rating of the latest incarnation of the NetSky worm.
Microsoft is cautiously optimistic that attempts to spread new variants of the Bagle virus exploiting an older vulnerability in its e-mail products will not be successful.
The worm accounted for more than half of infections detected by Sophos during May
It is not only the staff at RMIT Labs who have been busy, virus writers worked hard too.
The only way to prevent future outbreaks is for us all to work together. Here's why.
We recommend installing Windows XP SP2 but only after Microsoft has had a few weeks to work out the kinks.
