I had MyDoom, and it basicallys messes with your word and excel documents, then taps into your e-mail to send itself out to people in your address book, so be wary if you get an e-mail from your friends, always scan e-mails, no matter what!

Luckily, Norton scans my outgoing e-mails so it didn't send itself otu, and with the help of my uncle we got rid of it.

But smart. Harvesting addresses by spidering Geocities accounts is hard enough. Why bother, when you have a search engine?

Poor Google. :(

You gotta feel for Google though, this happpened right when they announced their stock options being up for sale.

Then WHAM !!

Somewhere there is a manager and a tech that was sweating that day.
