Microsoft dooms MyDoom?but not the next worm

Reacting belatedly to the MyDoom worms that bombarded e-mail systems and its own Web site this month, Microsoft Corp. yesterday released a software patch that removes MyDoom.a and .b from 32-bit Windows 2000 and XP systems.

Most antivirus vendors had already provided similar patches.
