eMail Viruses Fatten Up For Holidays

Via eMail Battles.

Compared to November, you might say October was a big month for svelte email viruses. The average virus crossing trimMail gateways weighed just 47 KB. While that's quite a bit heavier than August at 39 KB, it's nothing when matched to the average virus size we've seen thus far this month.

Average virus size at the middle of the month is a hefty 66 KB, largely due to a number of near-simultaneous Cruiser Class worm debuts.

OK. So they're not that new. Nevertheless, these tons-o-fun are tipping the scales for the month.
