Swiss scientists develop algorithm to locate source of malware, spam

Swiss scientists have developed an algorithm that can be used to locate spammers as well as the source of a computer virus or malware.

The algorithm finds the source by only checking a small percentage of the connections in a network, said Pedro Pinto, postdoctoral researcher at the Audiovisual Communications Laboratory of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), on Monday.
