Hanoi Times - All of the computer viruses that appeared in Vietnam in March originated abroad, said the director of Bach Khoa Internet Security (BKIS).


According to BKIS’s director, Nguyen Tu Quang, the 1,493 new computer viruses found last month came from outside Vietnam, mostly from China, Ukraine and Russia.


“In the internet environment, the spread of viruses doesn’t depend o­n the geographic factors. Vietnamese as well as other internet users worldwide are facing the same virus problems,” Quang said.


Statistics from BKIS showed that, of the 6,752 viruses that appeared in Vietnam in 2007, o­nly 14 of them originated locally.


Last year, reported BKIS, about 90,000 computers in Vietnam were infected with a virus each day, causing the country’s computer users a total loss of VND 2.4 trillion (US $150 million).


BKIS, the largest producer of anti-virus software in Vietnam, signed o­n April 2 an agreement with PC producer FPT Elead to supply BKAV Pro antivirus software to every PC produced by FPT Elead.
