This MyDoom virus that spoofs email addresses is slamming my mail server. I shut it down until I get home from work and install/update a filter. It infects a computer then replicates or sends itself to every email address in that persons address book. "they" are saying it might be the fastest spreading virus yet. More so than the Nimba, and others. From what I can see, it doesn't cause too much damage, jsut DOS attacks and junk email. I guess there are some though that are installing keystroke recorders with the virus, that can record various bit of personal info such as passwords and credit card info that you type in.
