One of the side-affects of MyDoom is that you cannot visit many
antivirus/update websites, including symantec.com and sophos.com. It will
also block programs like Norton AntiVirus LiveUpdate from running. It does
this by incorrectly matching domain addresses with IP addresses.
The way that the virus does this, is by editing a file in
%WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
If you have the worm and need to update your anti-virus definitions, then
RUN :%WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
and delete this section:
localhost.localdomain local lo

this will stop associating the sites with the wrong IP address.
Good Luck
