| Ok, I've just about had it. Is anyone else having problems with this nasty bug? I checked email this a.m. and I had 5 messages, all infested with klez. I am averaging 4-5 of them a day! I never know who the sender is, and have forwarded them to my isp support people. Norton sniffs them all out, but it is still a pain in the a**.
Will this ever go away? |

| Hey Jamie,
whats the email say? I keep getting these emails and it says you are the first to try out my new game, enjoy! I'm suspicous that is a virus too because the address is wierd. Try blocking that address and see if you don't get it anymore. |

| Jamie, I get them too but I don't download the attachment. Pretty easy for me, no message and always a zip file with it. |

I have been checking my computer regularly with Norton and have found nothing. I was getting some pretty strange emails at my Yahoo account for a while then they just went away. I never opened any. Approximately two months ago, my wife told me she had gotten klez at work, from my Yahoo account. I immediately scanned my entire computer and found nothing. I am assuming that the virus came through Yahoo and just happened to pick my address. No other explanations. Mine is currently being scanned again but has been completely clean so far.
Keep us posted on how things go.

| Well what it is, is a worm. A worm is simply a virus that goes into your outlook express or outlook address book and sends itself out to everyone in there. Go to microsoft.com and look for the fix for outlook express there. I do know they have one but I'm just to lazy to download but I'm sure is a good thing to have so if you get a worm it disallows it sending to everyone in your address book. |

| There are several versions of the worm KLEZ. Started with version A and is now up to or past H for sure. My home pc was infected with H just last week. On the web, find www.antivirus.com and then search for the Klez worm. There is a free download to identify and purge it from your directory. But you'll need to add one of the current virus protection programs to guard against reinfection. KLEZ is an internation memory-resident mass-mailing worm propagated by e-mail. Upon execution, it drops files and creates an entry in the AutoRun key of the system registry affectiong EXE files. It encrypts target files and modifies the file extension with a random name. In the long and short of things, it's just plain BAD....[:knockout:]
