The last day of the year Posted by Mikko @ 06:50 GMT

So, it's 31st of December.

Here's the top 10 viruses of the whole year, as reported to our statistics system:

  1. W32/Netsky.P@mm - 24.3 %
  2. W32/Netsky.D@mm - 10.2 %
  3. W32/Zafi.B@mm - 9.8 %
  4. W32/Sober.I@mm - 7.3 %
  5. W32/Netsky.B@mm - 6.1 %
  6. W32/Sober.G@mm - 5.5 %
  7. W32/Lovgate.W@mm - 4.0 %
  8. W32/Bagle.Z@mm - 3.3 %
  9. W32/Netsky.X@mm - 2.5 %
 10. W32/Netsky.Q@mm - 1.9 %


The data is a bit skewed, as there are several large ISP reporting what they see on their email servers. So viruses like Sasser - which do not spread over email - get less coverage. Sasser probably would have been in the top 5 otherwise.

This is what the year looks like in a graph...the Mydoom.A peak in January is huge.
