Manila officials have entered the residence of the suspected creator of the computer virus Love Bug.
The virus created havoc worldwide at the end of last week, penetrating computer systems such as the Pentagon, the CIA and the British Parliament.
The suspect is believed to be a female living in the suburb of Manila but no further details were available on the search, according to Reuters.
The Philippines' National Bureau of Investigation said it had difficulties in obtaining a search warrant because the country's laws did not yet cover computer crime.
