A new version of the MyDoom computer virus targeted to attack Internet search
engines spread so quickly Monday morning that some Web surfers received error
messages when attempting to use Google.
The new virus also hit the Yahoo, Altavista, and Lycos search engines, according
to antivirus firm McAfee.
"It's fascinating. We've never seen (a virus) do this before," said Graham
Cluley, senior technology consultant at antivirus firm Sophos.

Microsoft provides a free pc scan for these worms here.
I used this and it seems ok.
