THIS IS JUST A LONG QUOTATION...FROM cnet
"update A pesky new variant of the MyDoom worm slammed four popular search engines Monday and continued to clog e-mail accounts around the world.
The new version, variously dubbed MyDoom.m or MyDoom.o, was first detected early Monday morning and quickly went on a tear, flooding many mailboxes with hundreds of messages. It has also slowed Google, Yahoo, AltaVista and Lycos to a crawl because once it infects a PC, the virus automatically performs Web searches on those search engines.
E-mail screening company Message Labs said it had intercepted more than 23,000 copies of the variants in the first five hours of their existence. McAfee Avert, the virus-tracking squad at the antivirus-software maker, rated the worm a "medium on watch," or right below a high risk vulnerability. Tens of thousands of PCs have been infected by the worm, which was first detected just before 6 a.m. PDT. The biggest impact, however, has been on the search engines.
Google, Lycos and AltaVista hav been sporadically out of service all morning, while Yahoo has been slow. That's a function of how the worm spreads, said Craig Schmugar, a virus researcher at McAfee Alert. Once installed, the virus searches for e-mail addresses on the host computer's hard drive, and then it looks for more by running queries on all four search engines.
Security experts said the new variants first surfaced in Europe and spread quickly, thanks to several factors. Messages sent by the variants pose as either a "returned mail" [iGOT ONE OF THESE!!!] message from a postmaster or an alert from an internal IT administrator. Though the bounced mail spoofs weren't likely to prompt a second look, said Joe Telafici, director of operations McAfee, those posing as a corporate IT missive were realistic enough to fool some workers."
