A Real Virus Alert-Please Read
I updated my virus software today since my computer was acting funny. My computer had been stricken with the klez virus. My new vrus software fixed but I want to encourage each of you to make sure your software is updated. If I passed this on to any of you I'm sorry.

Thanks...

I have received 4 of these, but fortunately, our service provider scans e-mail for potential harmful content -- and it has worked on each of these Klez viruses.

Moon,
Congrats on a debugged computer!
Bobby,
My parent's service provider has the same kind of service and it protected them from the virus. I wish my service had something like that.
I just don't want anyone to have the same kinds of problems I did.

I have Norton Internet Security but have gotten sooooooo many of those damn e-mails generated by the klez worm that i ran the "removal tool" on my puter! IT IS CLEAN!! YIPEE!!

The worm randomly selects 2 names from your "address book", then selects a subject line from one of your e-mails and then sends itself! WHAT A PITA!! Because it places one name in the "sent from" and one in the "sent to" you cannot tell where the virus is originating.

If you want to run the tool, click on the link below....
