Computer viruses slowed but not contained, according to survey - RIVA RICHMOND, Dow Jones Newswires
Computer virus infections rose more slowly in 2002, but a stronger breed meant the costs of recovery increased, a new survey found. The 306 companies examined had more than 1.2 million virus incidents affecting 900,000 personal computers, servers and network-perimeter gateways, said ICSA Labs, a unit of TruSecure Corp. of Herndon, Va. That's 113 infections a month for every 1,000 machines, up 10 percent from the 103 infections a month reported in the previous survey. The infection growth rate was about 13 percent in 2001 and 2000.
