Subject: [drakelist] Virus Alert: MyDoom Worm

  meaning viruses, worms, trojans and other malicious programs disguised
  as something else.

o In the final analysis you are your own best defence against virus
  infection.  All it takes is a bit of common sense.


How To Remove the MyDoom Worm From An Infected PC
-------------------------------------------------
If your PC becomes infected by MyDoom, and if you have anti-virus
software on the PC, then your virus definition database must be too old to
detect MyDoom.  Otherwise your anti-virus software would not have allowed
the worm to infect your PC in the first place.  Update your virus
definitions database, then use the anti-virus software to scan your hard
drive.

If you do not have anti-virus software, or if you have trouble with the
software vendor's instructions for dealing with a MyDoom-infected PC, or
if you just want a quick fix, we recommend that you download and run the
"Stinger" utility provided free of charge by McAfee.  You will find it on
the McAfee web site at:

  http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/

Stinger will remove MyDoom and several other recent worms and viruses.
Please follow the instructions on the Stinger web page very carefully!

IMPORTANT: In order to remove MyDoom you need Stinger version 1.9.7 (or
later), which was posted to the Network Associates web site on January
26th.  If you already have an older version of Stinger, it will not remove
a MyDoom infection.
