Information about W32/MyDoom-A, W32/MyDoom-B and Doomjuice internet worms
Sophos technical support has warned users of the W32/MyDoom-A and W32/MyDoom-B worms. SCO
and Microsoft have announced rewards totalling $500,000 for
information leading to the capture of those behind the worms.
Sophos is also warning users of the W32/Doomjuice-A worm,
which attempts to infect computers hit by MyDoom-A.

Doomjuice:
Please note: At the time of writing Sophos has received
very few reports of W32/MyDoom-B from the wild, and does not
believe it poses as high a threat as W32/MyDoom-A. Sophos suggests
computer users sign up for email notification of new virus
threats and add a live virus
information feed to their websites.
