Microsoft said yesterday it was working to ward off an Internet virus that was set to attack the software company's Web site on Tuesday.
"We're definitely doing everything we can to make sure that our customers who need to get to our site are able to do so," said Christopher Budd, Microsoft's security program manager.
The virus, called MyDoom.B, spreads by e-mail and causes infected computers to launch an electronic attack again Microsoft's Web site. The virus is a variant of "MyDoom.A," which spread very rapidly across computers this week.
