Yep, it’s ITW !!

F-Secure is calling this one “Novarg”

Good luck :wink:

A few moments ago i got this virus in my mailbox,…strange,…my provider who serves the pop3’s is secured with sophos…

Avast took care off it!!! hooray for avast! :smiley:

If you are infected => run a full system scan with Avast and use the “virus cleaner”

The virus cleaner can’t cope with MyDoom yet.
You’ll have to use the competition this time :slight_smile: e.g.http://www.bitdefender.com/bd/downloads/removaltools/Antinovarg-en.exe

hehehe,…what is so strange bout this one is that i got the virus from “my own emailadres”,…the attachement got deleted by avast!

even though in my outlook i had the option “download attachements” disabled,… strange

So - the updated avast! Cleaner (ver.162) is up on our web site! It is able to remove the Win32:Mydoom worm - it works like a charm ;D

grest ;D
thanx Pavel ;D ;D

Avast is working GREAT. ;D

Since yesterday, I have received more than 100 of this virus. The first dozen Avast notified me of the MyDoom virus. After that I read up on the virus and found out what the subject lines were and since than I just delete any emails with those lines and an attachment. But, if it wasn’t for Avast originally catching MyDoom, my computer would be Doomed. :wink:

i am amazed that you would get 100 of them in such a sort amount of time. I have never gotten a repeated viruses by email ike that… how much email do you get a day…lol

glad to hear that avast caught it though. :slight_smile:

We have a Christian prison ministry with a web site www.prisonministry.org and thousands of people have our email address. :slight_smile:

Since this virus is spread through mass mailings of hte infected computer’s address book, it is reasonable to see how we would get so many infections sent to us. ::slight_smile:

Since I posted my original message (about an hour ago), we have received more than a dozen more infected emails. :o

We usually get a few hundred emails a day. :slight_smile:

thanks pavel for updating the “virus cleaner” :-* ;D
