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.

Attachments are readme.txt (1.38k) and "drive).exe" (88k).

Umm...sure.

Well they told you it would make your anti virus cry when it really isn't so that is no help.

My free version of AVG has no problem recognizing a klez virus..incidentally, this is one ;)

No no no. It's just a fake klez virus, just to fool the real one silly.

:Q

Are you sure??

Maybe I should run the file, just to check. ;)

Better yet, I'll send it to you, and you can try it for me :p
