Klez Virus Alert

 

Klez is making the rounds, again.

Put this together for a couple of my lists.

Thought you might need it -

How can I remove Klez?

Both F-Secure and

Symantec have released free tools to remove Klez

variants from the system. You will first need to

scan your system with updated antivirus software

to determine exactly which variant you have, then

use the appropriate tools to remove it.

Be sure to read the KLEZTOOL.TXT file included in the

You can minimize your risk of infection by visiting the Email

Help Center

http://antivirus.about.com/library/blemail.htm

and following the steps outlined for

your mail client. Be sure to follow all the steps

outlined therein, as Klez also exploits a security

vulnerability which allows the attachment to

automatically execute on unpatched systems.
