Microsoft provides user with monster worm removal face pack!

The last few months have been troublesome for Microsoft. Their mainstream operating systems have been attacked so viciously by all these variants of worms that Microsoft had to take some massive security steps of upgrades in the latest SP2 release for WinXP. And since that is some time away, they just released some patches and removal tools for fixation of some of the worst worms ever!

From the Microsoft Site:
Microsoft has released a tool to help you to remove variants of the Mydoom, Zindos, and Doomjuice worms from your computer. Version 4.0 of the Mydoom Worm Removal Tool supports removal of the Mydoom variants A, B, E, F, G, J, L, O, Zindos.A, and Doomjuice variants A and B worms. Version 4 is available at http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/mydoom.mspx and as a download from the Microsoft Download Center.

About the tool:
This tool helps to remove the Mydoom.A, Mydoom.B, Mydoom.E, Mydoom.F, Mydoom.G, Mydoom.J, Mydoom.L, Mydoom.O, Zindos.A, Doomjuice.A, and Doomjuice.B worms from infected systems. Once the tool has run—after the End-User License Agreement (EULA) is accepted—it automatically checks for infection and removes any of the targeted worms that are found. If a machine is infected with the Mydoom.B worm, the tool also provides the user with the default version of the hosts file and set the “read-only” attribute for that file. This action enables the user to visit previously-blocked Microsoft and antivirus Web sites.

After running, the tool displays a message describing the outcome of the detection and removal process. The tool can be safely deleted after it has run. Also, the tool creates a log file named doomcln.log in the %WINDIR%debug folder.

This is really helpful. And this is not even sarcasm :) .
