Klez.E is the most common world-wide spreading worm.It's very dangerous by corrupting your files.
Because of its very smart stealth and anti-anti-virus technic,most common AV software can't detect or clean it.
We developed this free immunity tool to defeat the malicious virus.
You only need to run this tool once,and then Klez will never come into your PC.
NOTE: Because this tool acts as a fake Klez to fool the real worm,some AV monitor maybe cry when you run it.
If so,Ignore the warning,and select 'continue'.
If you have any question,please mail to me.

NAV caught it..

Also, as Outlook was checking my other accounts, it found another Klez virus, so I quarantined it, then clicked on the message to delete it and an image popped up called like Misfits, it opened in Windows Picture Viewer.. But I didn't double click the attachment, for some stupid reason Outlook thought it would be a good idea to open it iself when I was just clicking on it (once, not double click) to delete the email.. Am I infected? I'm going to run a full system scan now, but fsckin' outlook..

MrCodeDude... I have had the same thing happen to me with the pop up viewer .. used 1 click to delete and the viewer pops open. No attachments opened. Norton got everything.. PC is clean... I have been hit repeatedly in 3 mailboxes using IE outlook express in the last 2 days. Good luck. ;)

SOmetimes my Nortan will pop up a virus warning and say it failed to fix some virus or something and quarranteened it. Then, I'll try to find the file it says is inftected to delete it, but I won't be able to find it.

Also, I do a full system scan and it doesn't say anything. WTF is up with that? I'm confused, so please expain.

I think it moves questionable things like that into the quarantine, but don't quote me on that. Have you looked in your NAV quarantine to see what's sitting around there?

Whenever I get a message from NAV saying it had to quarantine something, I immediately open it up and delete the offending file from the quarantine and I also run a scan - just in case.

Yes, you are infected. That's one of the big things that people complain about with outlook, also one of the big ways that the virus gets spread.

Hello TheGrandCow.. are you saying that even when you run a full system scan with NAV 2002 and it says you are clean that you can still be infected? Edit... also if microdude or I was infected, would not NAV 2002 catch the virus trying to mail itself out as NAV also checks all outgoing mail?

Grab the latest virus def's, boot into safe mode and run a full scan. (Make sure you're scanning "all files" and not just "program files)

Well, I'm on my mom's computer right now.. I ran the Klez scan on Safe Mode and guess what, it keeps getting one of those Not Responding error's from Windoze :(.. I'm going to turn on System Restore and try it, if it doesn't work, I'll keep System Restore on, boot into Normal Mode, and try and run it..

I doubt I'm infected though, asked around, no one said I *should* be infected. The reason why, if I had ALREADY quarantined the file and the virus was attached to a VALID file, NAV would take out the virus and allow you to keep the VALID file.. I dunno, but I'd rather be safe than sorry, so I'm running a scan right now :)

OK I just ran the Norton clean tool... You must disable system restore like the other cleaner and start in safe mode and run it.. Funny thing was the Norton cleaner took about 5 minutes to run and the other one took about 15 seconds. No infection here. ;) Here is the Norton cleaner link.

Well, I'm running the cleaning thing right now, in Normal Mode, with System Restore off, because the cleaning tool didn't work in Safe Mode for more than 5 minutes before Windoze wanted to crash it :(
Did a full system scan in Safe Mode, no infected files, I'm guessing I'm clean.

The reason is Outlook (obviously wrongly) things it's a wav file and is nice enough to want to play it for you when you preview your message.

Time to start using Mozilla people! Not a single virus has managed to infect me through Mozilla. I got the Klez one about 20 times, no biggie, just delete em, it's harmless to Mozilla.

I have mine off Rob.....I think if you do that, you really don't have to worry to much. Just don't open up any email from people you dont know and you'll be fine.
