Microsoft Ships Zotob Worm Removal Tool

Microsoft typically updates the free utility once a month?on Patch Tuesday?but with at least a dozen "Zotob" variants squirming through unpatched Windows 2000 systems, the company added detections for 10 mutants to help with the cleanup process. If you believe that you have the virus please visit the link below and download the latest Malicious Software Removal Tool from Microsoft.

The new version of the Malicious Software Removal Tool will now zap the following worms: Zotob.A, Zotob.B, Zotob.C, Zotob.D, Zotob.E, Bobax.O, Esbot.A, Rbot.MA, Rbot.MB and Rbot.MC. The worms, first detected last Saturday, have infected computers at several high-profile organizations, including The New York Times, CNN and ABC.
