Fizzer could have been contained: MessageLabs

The Fizzer worm would not have had half the impact it has, if anti-virus companies had issued virus definitions for it as soon as they knew of its existence, according to a senior official from MessageLabs, an UK-based company which provides email security services.

The company's senior anti-virus technologist, Alex Shipp, said the worm was discovered on Wednesday, May 7, but anti-virus companies only issued updates for their software the following Monday (May 12).

By then the worm had started spreading rapidly and given that it is a complex worm, spreading through email and through the KaZaa P2P (peer-to-peer) file sharing network as well, it had become pretty widespread.

Fizzer is still spreading, though at a slower rate than it was a few days back.

Shipp said MessageLabs detected about 500 to 600 email-borne viruses and worms each year, with about two-fifths of these being variants of the other three-fifths.
