Hello

I just had a friend who was infected with the W32.Klez.A@mm virus.
He noticed it when he tried to open some documents and all of them become scrambled.

I was able to remove the virus but the files are still scrambled.
All of his Word and excel files seem to have date of 05/07/02 12:09 AM
Seems like they all been changed at the same time.

One specific I found in all files, is a message at top of the document.

" run in DOS mode."

Files seem to be full of =0 and empty lines

If anyone has any ideas on how to repair those files please let me know
