| reply to BeesTea Re: 16,000 new viruses
said by BeesTea :I wonder what percentage of these new viruses were just reconfigured/compiled variations of existing malware ? It's really hard to give a short answer on this. If you're really interested check out F-secure's virus variant diagrams (through diary blog?). The first handful of variants are similar to the original virus, but you may be surprised to find out that that some Sober variants have more in common with Bagle variants and vice versa etc.
