What You Should Know About the Mydoom Worm Variants: Mydoom.A, Mydoom.B, and Mydoom.C (a.k.a. Doomjuice)

Important New Information

A new variant of the Mydoom worm, known as Mydoom.C (or Doomjuice), was detected on the Internet on February 9. Currently spreading to computers that were already infected with Mydoom.A, Mydoom.C causes computers to be used in attacks against other computers on the Internet. Infection by Mydoom.C can degrade both computer performance and network connections.

Customers who have successfully removed Mydoom.A from their computers are not at risk for Mydoom.C infection.

Microsoft recommends that you review the information on this page to determine if you are infected and to learn what to do.

To determine whether you are infected with Mydoom.A, Mydoom.B, or Mydoom.C, click the button below. If you are infected, follow the steps on this page to remove the virus. If you are not infected, it's still a good idea to go to the Protect Your PC site to check that your machine has a firewall installed and that your installation of Windows is up-to-date.
