To find out if a computer is infected with the Mydoom.A or .B worms, do the following:
- Click Start, and then click Run.
- In the Open box, type:
cmd (if you're using Windows 98/95/ME, type command instead) - Click OK. The black Command Prompt window will open, displaying C:\...>.
- Type cd \ and press ENTER. This will change the current directory to C:\ followed by a cursor.
- Type dir shimgapi.dll /a /s
- It will look through your entire hard drive. If it says "File not found", go to the next step
- Type dir ctfmon.dll /a /s
- Same thing, "File not found" is good. If either command shows files found, you're infected.
