We were asked to help disseminate information about the new MyDoom virus to the community, so here you go... please help spread the word.

Microsoft Consumer Virus Alert:

Why We Are Issuing This Alert
W32/Mydoom@MM spreads through e-mail. This worm can disguise the sender's address, a tactic known as spoofing, and may generate e-mails that appear to have been sent by Microsoft. Many of the addresses Mydoom uses are valid addresses that are being spoofed for malicious purposes.

Mydoom Virus Alert: What to Do
Treat all e-mail attachments with caution, particularly .zip files in the case of this virus, even if they appear to be from a trusted source. Learn what to do about virus infections. https://www.microsoft.com/security/antivirus/mydoom.asp

    I just saw that Computer Associates is offering their eTrust EZ Armor free for one year. EZ Armor is an antivirus and firewall solution. The offer is exclusive for Microsoft customer, according to their website. Worth mentioning in these "MyDoom" times... No more excuses for not installing an antivirus/firewall combination! Spread the word... You can find it at http://www.my-etrust.com/microsoft/.
