What should I do if Im infected with the Novarg/Mydoom worm?

0

This worm forges emails to (and from!) everyone in your address list and includes a dangerous payload that when executed will infect them and send itself to everyone they have in their address book. On February 1, 2004 all infected hosts will perform a Denial of Service attack aimed at http://www.sco.com/ and on February 12, 2004 the worm will stop spreading itself. To remove it from your computer, update the virus definitions in your existing antivirus program or install the free version of AVG. Once your definitions are updated or AVG is installed, run a full scan on your computer. Once thats done you should be clean.
