Computer viruses as they look in 3D

Phishing is a spamming technique used by criminals to trick victims

Ever wondered what computer viruses might look like? Probably not.

But that has not stopped conceptual artist Alex Dragulescu creating a set of 3D images.

He was given the programming code by MessageLabs for the most common internet viruses and decided to make a set of pictures that he calls Infected Art.

See six of the images

The images are divided into six main threat categories including viruses, spam, phishing attacks, spyware, malicious links and trojans.
