Australian experts have warned that the Bugbear worm is still cause for concern, despite a fall in the number of reported infections over the long weekend.
Bugbear is on the way to overtaking Klez as the most prevalent virus in Australia, this week knocking Klez off the top of security companies' "top ten" virus lists. In many cases it's the first time in several months Klez hasn't topped the list.
Australians are more susceptible to Bugbear than to most worms, with 11.7 percent of reported infections coming from this country, compared to between two and four percent for most worms, according to Symantec.
Security has pushed its way to the forefront of corporate consciousness, according to an International Data Corp (IDC) survey of Australia's medium to large organisations.
As the latest worm attack spread across Australia, many businesses learned they were infected when their printers started exuding reams of garbage. ZDNet Australia spoke to one small business that lost a days work in the latest attack.
