Virus Alert - Klez

[mousewings]

Sorry for this post; I am making myself use(less) again. I got a really bad virus in my inbox a while ago, but didn't open it. I wanted to warn everyone about it. This virus is pretty bad; it wipes out all the data on your computer. It randomly generates random subject lines from a list, so it's hard to look out for it unless you know a few of its subject lines.

More information and ways to get rid of it are here:

Don't open any attachments unless you know they are and are expecting them. The unfortunate thing is some of the Outlook mail programs automatically open attachments (along with viruses) if you only view or click on the e-mail.

Be careful...

I had this virus in my mail box tonight. Spent hours to scan and check my puter, looks like I had luck.
Very important, it start spreading via some newletters from metal magazines!

And I'm very happy that I check my mail online first, delete all thrash and then I use Outlook!
My subject said: Hi webmistress, the Garden of Eden...
I knew right away that it is a virus, without having read about it!
My inner voice works perfect.

I had a virus before I reformatted that sent porn to people from MY e-mail address, my e-mail adress got deleted.

Not that I care, I got i'd say... 100 junkmail messages a day under that name i'd had for five years (Seriously, 100)

I think getting viruses is inevitable, there are so many nowadays that are basically unstoppable. You can try to be cautious but sooner or later you're going to get one. You should reformat your Harddrive fairly often anyways.

I also got Chernobyl virus, remember that one? It ruined my BIOS so I couldn't even use that computer anymore.

Sofar I had a lot of luck, didn't catch one yet, but i get quite often viruses send in. On some boxes I can't use a security filter (list) because the email address need to be open for any fan of those bands I deal with.

Haha ... You're right, that doesn't happen too often. ESPECIALLY during the summer...

More viruses:

Do not go or be tricked into going to these websites:

-koolkatalogs.com
-online1net.com

They are hoax websites designed to download a virus to your computer when you go there. Information.


Also don't open an attachment to an e-mail that offers an immunity tool (the attachment) to the Klez virus. The attachment is the virus. More information.

I don't know the least about computers - so how am I supposed to know about a possible virus?? I'd not understand it, and ruin the comp. completely...

Haven't had this virus yet, but I'll be on the lookout. Already ruined one computer.
