According to the Internet security company 'PandaLabs,' about 52% of all newly released viruses, Trojans and worms remain on the Net for not even 24 hours before getting inactive.

Unfortunately, this tendency is not because Panda, Symantec or AVG, the firms for computer security, eradicate them with their own remarkable methods, but because virus creators are constantly shifting towards their successive major malware.

PandaLabs said - every day it finds almost 37,000 fresh samples of viruses, Trojans, worms and other Internet threats. Among these, the company discovered that more than half (52% or 19,240 on average) proliferate and contaminate computer users for only 24 hours. Following that time period, they become exhausted and innocuous, with other new variants quickly replacing them.
