Microsoft has released a three-in-one virus removal tool to help users clean up from the recent Mydoom, Zindos and Doomjuice worm attacks.

The clean-up tool, released as a 120 kilobyte download, has been programmed to identify and zap 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. Once the tool has run, Microsoft said it would automatically check for infection and remove any of the targeted worms it finds. “If a machine is infected with the Mydoom.B worm, the tool also provides the user with the default version of the host’s file and sets the ‘read-only’ attribute for that file,” the company said.
