Wednesday, 9 June 2004 15:40 ESTComputer viruses resumed their full-throttle attack on the virtual world as the number of strains more than quadrupled in May from a month ago.

In addition, this year's accumulated virus reports amounted to 58,968, already approaching a 70 percent level of 85,023 for the year 2003.
