Mydoom virus - What is it?
The latest in a string of Mydoom variants, W32/Mydoom.s@MM is a Medium Risk mass-mailing worm that can give hackers remote access to your PC. The worm arrives inside an attachment and downloads a backdoor component from two websites:
1) richcolour.com, 2) zenandjuice.com. W32/Mydoom.s@MM spreads to other PCs by sending itself to stolen email addresses.

Everyone using an anti-virus package which has the most recent updates is protected from this threat and to fortify anti-virus defense against viruses that carry backdoor payloads, I would recommend installing the additional protection software known as Personal Firewall Plus.

What should I look for?
FROM: Spoofed
SUBJECT: photos
BODY: LOL!;))))
ATTACHMENT: photos_arc.exe

How do I know if I've been infected?
When the attachment is run, the virus copies itself to the Windows (%WinDir%) directory as rasor38a.dll and to the System (%SysDir%) directory as winpsd.exe.

How do I find out more?
