Microsoft has made available an updated version of the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool to help Windows users infected with the 'Zotob' worm. Typically the WMSRT is only updated once a month, it seems Microsoft however thought it necessary to make an exception in this case.

The Zotob worm started spreading on Sunday. Since then, the worm, its variants, and other worms that take advantage of the same security flaw have hit Windows computers, especially those running Windows 2000. Systems at ABC, CNN and The New York Times were among those infected.
