--> What is it?
W32/Mydoom.ah@MM is a Medium Risk mass-mailing worm that
exploits a "buffer overflow vulnerability" in Microsoft
Internet Explorer to spread from computer to computer using
stolen email addresses. Web links (e.g., "see my homepage")
in the spam messages point to infected systems, which then
download the virus onto new victims' machines. Unlike earlier
Mydoom variants, W32/Mydoom.ah@MM forwards no attachments.
Up-to-date McAfee VirusScan users with DAT 4405 are protected
from this threat. Note: McAfee also recommends regularly
updating your Windows operating system with the latest
security patches from Microsoft.
--> What should I look for?

ATTACHMENT: None.
--> How do I know if I've been infected?
When run, the virus creates a file in the WINDOWS SYSTEM
(%WinDir%\system32) directory with a random filename that
ends in 32.exe.
--> How do I find out more?
