Re: The truth about the Klez Virus

If you are running Outlook Express like %90 of the others in the world (and me) you are vulnerable to the Klez virus/worm.

When you read it it attempts to automatically execute the payload (actual worm)which would send messages to people in your address book with random subjects based on other mail you have in your inbox or other folders... it will also attach a file from your own computer (which could be private if you are really unlucky) to probably convince the person receiving it to open it OR just as a file for the worm/virus to piggyback on.

Norton detects and stops the virus with the latest definition update. So does Mcaffee, however I am unsure if it actually prevents the file from executing.

If you have antivirus software please get the latest update and scan your drive and if you do not even have any antivirus software, shame on you!
So you're saying [email protected] has Klez? I've gotten 3 emails about "XP Patches" that were the Klez virus from that email. Actually, the return email is much different... But it's either that or someone's posing as Graal.
