The Sober.P worm is circulating the Internet in greater quantities than ever, accoring to antivirus company Sophos.

Sophos says the mass-mailing worm accounted for 5.4 percent of all e-mail the company saw over the weekend and 84 percent of virus activity. That represents an increase compared with Friday, when Sophos said the worm accounted for 4.65 percent of all e-mail and 77 percent of virus activity.
