Consumers should be careful when dealing with Web sites in the retail and leisure industries, as these have a high proportion of viruses, according to a report from managed e-mail security company MessageLabs.
With the Klez.h variant topping most-widespread worm lists both in Australia and worldwide, concern is mounting over the impact on businesses.
Industry pundits are hoping that infection is on the decrease, after April turned out to be a tough month for Australian businesses hit by the rampant Klez worm.
A minor variant of the virus is set to go into action, erasing a host of files on infected hard drives. But the maneuver may wipe out the attacker.
The latest variant of the Klez worm sometimes chooses to hitch a ride on sensitive documents, resulting in victims' confidential information spreading with the malicious program, Russian antivirus firm Kaspersky Labs said Friday.
Klez tops the list of most virulent viruses, according to a new survey. The worm has hit more than 7 percent of PCs all over the world--beating out SirCam and Nimda for deadliness.
More than a week after it first started spreading, the latest variant of the Klez worm continues to infect PC users that haven't taken steps to protect themselves.
This summer has been quiet compared to last year's attacks from Code Red, SirCam and Nimda. If only that were cause to celebrate, danger is still present.
Klez is still riding high in the virus top 10 after more than a year, but system administrators should be looking out for Datemake, a new entry.
SPECIAL REPORT Old viruses shouldn't be thought of as dead and gone but merely lying dormant.
