A few moments ago i got this virus in my mailbox,...strange,...my provider who serves the pop3's is secured with sophos....
Avast took care off it!!! hooray for avast!
If you are infected => run a full system scan with Avast and use the "virus cleaner"

The virus cleaner can't cope with MyDoom yet.
You'll have to use the competition this time
e.g.

So - the updated avast! Cleaner (ver.162) is up on our web site! It is able to remove the Win32:Mydoom worm - it works like a charm

Avast is working
GREAT
.
Since yesterday, I have received more than 100 of this virus. The first dozen Avast notified me of the MyDoom virus. After that I read up on the virus and found out what the subject lines were and since than I just delete any emails with those lines and an attachment. But, if it wasn't for Avast originally catching MyDoom, my computer would be Doomed.

We have a Christian prison ministry with a web site
www.prisonministry.org
and thousands of people have our email address.
Since this virus is spread through mass mailings of hte infected computer's address book, it is reasonable to see how we would get so many infections sent to us.
Since I posted my original message (about an hour ago), we have received more than a dozen more infected emails.
We usually get a few hundred emails a day.
