Someone commented earlier today that the MyDoom outbreak might be
fading, as we are all seeing fewer e-mails related to that virus.
However, the problems are not necessarily fading unless we make sure
that machines that were potentially infected are cleaned, as this virus
does have the potential to launch a denial of service attack on SCO on
Sunday and on Microsoft on Tuesday, according to news articles such as
this one from Yahoo:

Never a dull moment!
