I just got off the phone with a guy that works with my GF at the hospital. Apparently, his daughter may have infected his computer with MyDoom J via her PDA. Searches thus far have found no removal tools. He cannot access the web via I.E. itself but can through Outlook links.
Anyone heard of this version? any pointers on what to do other than C: Format?

Is it really mydoom.j ?

Apparently, Netsky.p sends a message like:

which might lead you to believe that you've been infected.

Like it says on the front of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: DON'T PANIC.

Yet.
