MyDoom Protection from MS?

[Brian R.]

Went to OS upgrades at MS and they told me a critical upgrade was
"Mydoom, Zindos, and Doomjuice Worm Removal Tool (KB836528)"

They said if I had this file recommended as a download, then I was probably infected.

Interesting

It's bullshit.
The reality is maybe that it is possible meaning you didn't install the updates to their crappy software that neuter these things.

[High_Jumbllama]

Damn! It's like I've been saving that up for the past 4.5 days.

LMFAO! Feel better HJ?

[High_Jumbllama]

Well yes but due to the 4.5 days of vacation and not using an alarm.

As far as I know, I don't have any MS program or function that fights viruses activated. ???

(I am running W2K)

I got the same message from MS update.......
Downloaded that tool......it did scan my system and found......? Nothing.
Not very suprising to me.......

My other two computers didn't download it...Strange
