For those interested in what's out there...
The table below represents the most prevalent viruses for April 2002,
number one being the most frequent.
Ranking Virus Name Percentage
1. Worm/Klez.E (includes G variant) 79.2%
2. W32/Elkern.C 11.8%
3. Worm/W32.Sircam 2.3%
4. W32/Nimda 1.3%
5. Worm/Badtrans.B 1.1%
6. W32/Magistr.B 1.0%
7. W95/Hybris 0.6%
8. Worm/MyLife.J 0.5%
9. W32/Magistr.A 0.4%
10. Worm/MyLife.F 0.3%
11. W95/MTX 0.3%
12. Worm/Gibe 0.2%
Others 1.0%
It's extremely unlikely Trawlerworld participants would be the first to
experience a new virus "in the wild" so the best strategy is to buy
yourself a virus management program (Symantec is my favorite) and update
your DAT file (virus signature file) at least weekly.
