With this month’s list of Top 10 malware threats only accounting for 39.75% of the total number of threats, perhaps the most outstanding finding is not a certain virus, but the way that the top malfeasants have been concentrated into a smaller percentage of the overall viruses developed in the wild.



The P2P worm Puce.G claims first spot once again in June, while the second place in the gallery of malware goes to a new version of the Rjump worm, displacing the older (B) version which held the same position in May.



Although it accounts for only slightly more infections than last month (4.17% vs. 3.82%), Netsky continues to show up high in the list, climbing this month to third place.



BitDefender’s June 2007 Top 10 malware list includes:

win32.worm.p2p.puce.g 9.57%
worm.rjump.k 8.21%
win32.netsky.p@mm 4.17%
win32.worm.vb.ymeak.a 3.68%
win32.worm.vb.dz 3.22%
win32.worm.rjump.b 3.16%
win32.wukill.e@mm 2.10%
worm.seduobot.a 1.99%
win32.worm.vb.nei 1.95%
win32.brontok.a@mm 1.70%


(Note: BitDefender’s June 2007 Top 10 list of malware accounts for 39.75% of the total number of all viruses seen in circulation.)



"It's worrying to see the same threats reported month in and month out. It appears as if many users still don't have adequate antivirus protection. A virus is extremely difficult to eradicate from the wild if it can keep finding new hosts,” commented Viorel Canja, head of BitDefender Labs.
