Off topic/Virus

[kidgloves]

Sorry about off topic...but it is affecting my ablilty to view this site at times!
Anyone know anything about this virus::
W32/Klez.gen@MM
It basically keeps sending me infected mails and although I have downloaded a removal tool..that tool says that Klez is not found on my system?!
Is it disguising itself? Help appreciated.

Cheers for that..in fact the very address I downloaded the removal tool from but the tool can't find the virus on my system...it's got to be disguising itself somehow I reckon.

You seem to have the W32/Klez.h@MM mass-mailing virus which is perfectly capable of hacking into 99.9% of anti-virus software scanners so they don't report finding it!!!

If you keep getting the virus email then the sender has it on his/her system. The virus is emailing itself to you because you are in their address book. You need to view the message source to find out who this actually is.

Information doesn't get much better than what you'll see here:

Included here is how klez drops another virus into your system as a special 'bonus' present. The secondary virus is called W32/Elkern.cav.c. and will eventually stop your computer from loading windows if it isn't exterminated.

Its all Microsofts fault
