Global virus activity captured by secure e-mail services company MessageLabs in November slid to half the October figure, the company said.
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.
The MiMail mass mailing Internet worm has snatched prime position away from Klez by becoming the fastest spreading virus, according to mail filtering company MessageLabs.
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.
The Bugbear worm has now surpassed Klez.H as the fastest-spreading virus, and is getting more virulent by the day - but it is bringing an unexpected benefit.
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.
Rampant virus Klez, which has spawned a number of variants, is predicted to cause Australian IT professionals headaches for months to come.
SPECIAL REPORT Old viruses shouldn't be thought of as dead and gone but merely lying dormant.
Businesses continue to be lax about taking basic practical steps to stop e-mail worms wreaking havoc with their networks, according to anti-virus experts.
