Microsoft has released a tool to help you remove variants of the Mydoom, Zindos, and Doomjuice worms from your computer. Version 4.0 of the Microsoft Mydoom Worm Removal Tool supports removal of the Mydoom variants A, B, E, F, G, J, L, O, Zindos.A, and Doomjuice variants A and B. To download Version 4.0 of the Worm Removal Tool, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

The Windows Update Web site and Automatic Updates will offer you version 4.0 of the Mydoom Worm Removal Tool if your computer appears to be infected with Mydoom.A, Mydoom.B, Mydoom.E, Mydoom.F, Mydoom.J, Mydoom.L, Mydoom.O, Zindos.A, Doomjuice.A, or Doomjuice.B.
Note The Windows Update Web site and Automatic Updates do not detect whether a computer is infected with the Mydoom.G variant, but the tool that is offered by Windows Update does remove the Mydoom.G variant. If your computer is infected with only the Mydoom.G variant, Windows Update will not offer you the tool. If your computer is infected with multiple variants of Mydoom, Windows Update will offer you the tool. If you do not know whether your computer is infected with the Mydoom.G variant, and Windows Update does not offer you the Mydoom Worm Removal Tool, you can manually download and run the tool from the Microsoft Download Center.
