BTW: can someone who has more patience than me explain to Gregor what
Klez virus is and why it is important to have antivirus software? Got
another copy from him this morning, this time disguised as mail from
shunyatauk. That makes three...
Blessings...

The worm exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express in an attempt to execute itself when you open or even preview the message. Information and a patch for the vulnerability can be found at

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS01-020.asp

The worm also inserts the virus W32.ElKern.3326. W32.ElKern.3326 can also infect W32.Klez.AATnospammm.

Finally, the worm executes its payload on the 13th of January, March, May, July, September, and November. The payload causes files on local and mapped drives to become zero bytes in size.

In short form it's a virus that will try to infect any machine and trash it's hard drives, making them read as if they were non existent/empty

This bug also carries a timed payload

Norton AV is the best imo.. its about $30 US but a neccesary evil if you are serious about using the internet.
