 SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Technology -- New 'Doomjuice' worm emerges, targets Microsoft
Doomjuice, which some are describing as a variant of the MyDoom worm, spreads via e-mail systems already infected with the first version, which became the fastest-spreading virus ever when it was unleashed on the Internet at the end of January.
Because Doomjuice spreads directly between infected computers, rather than via e-mail, experts said that it would not be accurate to call it a variant of MyDoom, which accounted for as many as one in five e-mails at its peak in late January.
Doomjuice, which experts said was most likely created by the same author as MyDoom, is designed to flood Microsoft's web site for request for data in an effort to bring it down, an attack known as a distributed denial of service.

As far as detecting Doomjuice goes, the company says that the presence of sync-src-1.00.tbz and intrenat.exe is a dead giveaway.
