    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.
