Action

The name W32/MyDoom-Gen is used where a file belongs to a particular family of worms, but the variant is not separately identified. Sophos's proactive protection technology will identify such files as a -Gen variant.

  1. Ensure that you are using the most recent IDE files, as more precise detection could now be available. If necessary

  2. Please send us a sample to assist in improving our technology.
  3. Use the instructions for removing generically detected files to delete the file from your computer.
  4. If you require further assistance with disinfection, contact support.
