It was mentioned somewhere (I think f-secure) that it will remove 
certain entries before it starts the attack.

http://f-secure.com/v-descs/mydoom_b.shtml

"An additional line is added before the the date when attack against 
Microsoft begins:

0.0.0.0 www.microsoft.com

Which will make the site unaccessible. The 3rd of February the entry 
will be removed so the attack can be performed, which will probably 
cause some difficulties reaching it, if the DDoS is successful."
