MyDoom worm threatens computers

A new worm spreading through email was discovered January 26. MyDoom, Novarg, or W32.MyDoom@mm is aggressive and is quickly moving across the country. It attacks Windows operating systems. My Doom can also be spread in KAAZA music files.

The subject line may be:
-test
-hi
-hello
-Mail Delivery System
-Mail Transaction Failed
-Server Report
-Status
-Error

My Doom may have a first line as:
- The message cannot be represented in 7-bit ASCII encoding and has been sent as a binary attachment.
- The message contains Unicode characters and has been sent as a binary attachment.
- Mail transaction failed. Partial message is available.

The message will have an attachment. Do not open the attachments.
