Net giant Google has recovered after a sneaky virus severely affected its search engine.

Net security firms reported that the havoc had been caused by a new variant of the MyDoom virus.

Google confirmed it had been hit by fallout from the virus, slowing down searches, but said its search engine was not "significantly impaired".

The search engine is one of the most popular on the net, dealing with 200 million global queries a day.
