Another variant of the computer virus Bagle has been quickly making its way across the Internet, BBC News reports.

Anti-virus firm MessageLabs gave it a "high outbreak" rating after it caught more than 850,000 copies by Wednesday.

Security experts said computer users should protect themselves by ensuring anti-virus programs are updated.

About 80 variants of the original Bagle worm, which first appeared in January 2004, have been released on the Internet.
