Chris Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 This tool helps to remove the Mydoom.A, Mydoom.B, Mydoom.E, Mydoom.F, Mydoom.G, Mydoom.J, Mydoom.L, Mydoom.O, Zindos.A, Doomjuice.A, and Doomjuice.B worms from infected systems. Once the tool has run—after the End-User License Agreement (EULA) is accepted—it automatically checks for infection and removes any of the targeted worms that are found. If a machine is infected with the Mydoom.B worm, the tool also provides the user with the default version of the hosts file and set the "read-only" attribute for that file. This action enables the user to visit previously-blocked Microsoft and antivirus Web sites. After running, the tool displays a message describing the outcome of the detection and removal process. The tool can be safely deleted after it has run. Also, the tool creates a log file named doomcln.log in the %WINDIR%debug folderWhat's New in This Release:· Added detection/removal for Mydoom.E, Mydoom.F, Mydoom.G, Mydoom.J, Mydoom.L, Mydoom.O, and Zindos.A.More | Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 Thanks for that. Like andsome I've downloaded it - hoping never to have to use it.One thing doesn't quite add up though. The tool is said to be from Microsoft but I can't find any reference on the MS or Windows site about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 Would it hurt to run it now, or should we wait for problems first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
