F-Secure has launched a comprehensive online tool for everybody
interested in understanding the world virus situation at a glance.
The resource, which was developed for research purposes at F-Secure
is now available to the general public in four languages,
respectively English, French, German and Finnish.
English:

French:

German:

Visitors to the above addresses will first see the full world
map situation but will quickly be able to drill down for
information based on a geographical area or country.
Colour representations of infection levels from quiet to
epidemic give the viewer an immediate overview of a country or
region. Another measure enables the viewer to understand virus
alert levels from an overall global perspective.
Related graphs and statistics help users to understand the
broader context of the infection based upon time lines ranging from
the last hour to the last year as well as a breakdown of the
viruses in question.
Speaking about the new resource, Mikko Hypponen, Chief Research
Officer at F-Secure said:“The world virus map is an excellent
resource for quickly understanding the virus situation at any given
time. For anybody interested in understanding the ‘bigger picture’
behind a virus in the news and charting its course, this is a good
place to start.”
