New version of MyDoom worm hits Microsoft's Web site.

FFS! This virus menace is too much!!!
I re-installed Windows on one of my machines a few days ago. The computer got infected by four (!) viruses during the time it took to update the virus definitions! :-x

Properly how? :-)

Nå er de jo lett for en norman, med alle oliepengere dere, att kjøpe allt det udstyr I har bruk for.
Her i den tredje verden så må vi spare på pengene... :-P

Hehe! Standard procedure, in other words...
Problem is that I don't have any trusted network at home; I have to go directly out on the net to update the system.
I normally work around this by saving the latest virus definition file on a CD, and installing AVG and a firewall before I go on-line. This time Windows crashed on me, and I couldn't find the CD with the definitions from the last time. :-(
Anyway, once I got AVG updated, it took twenty seconds to wipe the system clear from viruses... :-D

AFAIK, the only security flaw that MyDoom uses is the average stupidity of Windows users...
