Kaspersky Lab (www.kaspersky.com) announced on November 3 that it has re-launched Viruslist.com (www.viruslist.com), an online resource for information on computer viruses. The new site is divided into three sections according to the most prevalent threats to Internet users today - viruses, hackers and spam. Each section contains analytical articles, basic information and news. A glossary has been added for readers new to Internet security issues.
Senior analysts in the Virus Lab have re-classified malicious programs to reflect the current situation in the malware world and to match the Kaspersky Anti-Virus databases. The online Kaspersky Virus Encyclopedia, which has been updated and re-designed, now contains information about all viruses detected by Kaspersky Lab products, either detailed descriptions or short references. Viruslist.com contains a new search engine where visitors will be able to enter virus names either from Kaspersky Lab or from other major vendors.
