The Helsinki, Finland, company issued only 27 Level-2 alerts last year, and two Level-1 warnings, so having four serious worms unleashed close together within the first 10 days of the year is unusual. "The year isn't starting out great," said Fred Fondriest, director of business development for F-Secure. "If this continues, then we're in for a bad one."
