Flame virus has been burning for five years

Security experts say the highly sophisticated Flame virus, which has infected computers in Iran and other Middle East countries, may have been deployed at least five years ago.

Evidence suggests that Flame may have been built on behalf of the same nation or nations that commissioned the Stuxnet worm that attacked Iran's nuclear program in 2010, according to Kaspersky Lab, which discovered the virus.
