It's definitely a nasty little piece of code. Even though I had Outlook Express configured to disallow practially everything, the E-mail messages opened themselves and let the rogue code loose. If you've managed to avoid Klez so far and you're running Windows, I strongly recommend you read more about this at Microsoft and then install the recommended security patch: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS01-020.asp > Because of its very smart stealth and anti-anti-virus technic,most common AV software can't detect or clean it. Once I got McAfee VirusScan installed, I was able to delete all the affected files. BUT, it took a major effort (over two -- or was it three -- days) to even get it installed so that I could scan my hard drive. > NOTE: Because this tool acts as a fake Klez to fool the real worm,some AV monitor maybe cry when you run it. Not my idea of a solution to this problem because a) it won't do anything about files that are already infected and b) I don't like the idea of a file that causes a virus alert for which one is told to "Ignore the warning,and select 'continue'."
