What Virus extensions does an antivirus program typically assign to a virus once it has been found?
@mm is an extension commonly appended to the end of a mass mailing computer virus. This model is used by security firm Symantec, and follows any variant letter. Examples include:
* W32.MyDoom@mm
* Mac.Simpsons@mm
* W32.MyParty@mm
* W32.Nimda.A@mm
Other similar extensions or prefixes are applied to computer viruses, however the decision to do so and indeed the 'name' of the virus is determined by the will of individual security firms.
