Kaspersky, NOD32, F-prot, Symantec and panda do not show anything yet.
Looks like McAfee and F-Secure got ahead.

Wrong, Nod32 updated here at 17.32pm 26/01/04.
 
I like NOD32, but from their website:

NOD32 - v.1.609 (20040127)
Virus signature database updates:
Win32/Mydoom.A
 
But is that Aussie time???? Don't forget they are at least 12 hours
ahead of North America.....give or take a couple of hours.

And EZ Trust had the defs and a tool to fix it last night......didn't
check the time.

Who cares? Why do we have to go through this my dick is bigger than your
dick contest every time there's an outbreak?

Avery major anti-virus software developer had definitions available by
the time I went home last night (about 1:00 a.m. eastern GMT -5). I
don't care who was first or second or third or last. That's not the
problem (or the real issue for the matter). The real problem is getting
the usual suspects* to install the updates, patch their systems, and
stop blindly double-clicking every single thing the lands in front of
them.

*Usual suspects refers to all the clueless, careless, lazy, or
incompetent users and administrators who despite the the debacles of
Melissa, Nimda & Slammer still haven't bothered to take even the most
basic risk mitigation steps.

Oh good......coz you had me beat on that comparison, grin!!

And I fully agree with you.....who cares, as long as they download them
and use common sense. I have now whipped my genealogy list into shape
and no problems there. Education.......is the only answer. And the
truly clueless will never get that.

My thoughts exactly - well, actually I didn't get much past
"Who cares!?".

Good rant.

Norton AntiVirus 2004 did not need to have any definitions to block this
worm due to its script blocking technology.
