Others 6.8% "In
only a few days, the hefty volume of circulating MyDoom emails caused
pandemonium for computer users worldwide," said Steven Sundermeier, Vice
President of Products and Services at Central Command, Inc. Central Command's
Emergency Virus Response Team confirmed that over 77% of all total infections
received in January 2004 was MyDoom. "It didn't take MyDoom long to
become a predominant member of the 'who's who' list of high impacting
computer worms. It's safe to say that MyDoom bypassed the big leagues and
took a straight path to the hall-of-fame." Vexira Antivirus has been updated for 781 different viruses, worms and other malicious applications during the month of January 2004. (ma) Central Command Kontakt: Steven Sundermeier Tel.
