A new variant of the Nachi worm which attempts to
cleanse computers infected by MyDoom and download
Microsoft security patches to unprotected computers

Nachi-B (AKA Welchi) uses the same security

attempts to search and destroy any traces of MyDoom
infection - before downloading patches for the
Microsoft vulnerability it used to infect the system
in the first place.
