Klez E-Mail Virus - Most Persistent Ever
Posted: 04th Mar, 2003 By: MarkJ
Anti-Virus firm Sophos has branded the Klez e-mail worm (virus) as the most persistent infection ever to plague the Internet:
Chris Wraight, technology consultant at antivirus firm Sophos, said Klez victims had "no excuse" for not updating their antivirus software.
"In its various guises, Klez has now been hanging around the chart for 13 months, making it the most persistent worm ever," he said.
"People infected by Klez cannot have updated their virus protection in quite some time." Klez was the most frequently occurring infection in February, accounting for almost 14% of the month's total incidents.
We can't help but wonder how long Klez will be able to hold onto the top spot, it'll certainly be a hard one to beat. More @ VNUNet.
