It may not be so simple. Klez uses anti-anti-virus techniques to prevent itself from being detected or deleted. It took me several days to figure out how to eradicate it from my computer. The only way I was able to get rid of it was by booting my computer in Safe mode and installing the anti-virus software from a CD. If one runs something that has been downloaded from the Internet, there is a strong possibility that Klez will infect it before it can do its detection or cleaning. I agree with Frank. If you're running Windows (particularly if you're using Outlook and/or have opened attachments sent to wget lists recently), you need to scan (and probably clean) your computer. Tony
