Tue Jan 27 07:06:57 PST 2004 — New “MyDoom” email virus trapped by Sonic.net anti-virus system. A new email virus is sweeping the Internet. Almost immediately after its release on the Net, our automatic anti-virus software began blocking propagation of the virus.

News on the virus can be found on CNN.com:

Virus inception and impact can be viewed on one of our statistics pages:

We suggest Internet users exercise caution when opening questionable email attachments. In most cases, the “MyDoom” virus will appear to have been sent by someone who has emailed you before.

We are very pleased with the performance of the relatively new anti-virus software — thanks to Kelsey for getting it online. -Scott and Dane
