Wayne Co., IL Researchers I have received 3 email in the past week from people stating they received email from me and it is the Klez virus. As soon as I got the email, I triple checked with 2 anti virus programs and came back clean. After the 3rd email, I took my computer in to the dealer. They said I do not have any virus. I looked into the Klez virus. What happens is, when you get this virus, it jumps around your address books. What it does is takes one name in your address book and pretends to be that person and sends itself out on another piece of email to another person. OR IF you have the virus and depending on its mood (?), it takes your address (since you may have the worm) and sends email to others. The ONLY way to get rid of this virus or any virus is EVERYONE MUST go to the web site that owns the anti virus software you have and download the latest '.dat' file(s). Then follow the instructions to find and kill any virus on your system. Even if you run your anti virus, if you do NOT have the latest '.dat/ file(s), you wasted time and the virus is still having a picnic on your system. Check the anti virus web site at LEAST ONCE A MONTH (I check 3 times a week) for the latest news and files to download. PLEASE once you do this, set the anti virus to check your email and downloads at all times!! If you do this, ALL email and downloads are checked for a virus, will alert you if you get one, and will remove it IF you set it up to do this. We MUST work together to be 'virus clean'! Contact your internet provider if you have any questions or problems. Also ask them if you need the 'firewall' protection. FYI, I have 2 anti virus software's running at all times (in case one misses it the other will grab it). and a firewall running at all times, even when I am playing games or dvd. Please, protect yourself!! If you do not know how or what to do, contact me for help. Thanks!

I just visited the Wayne Co site. I see where there's an obit for Jonathan Stull submitted by Peg Jones on the site. I'd be most interested in contacting her, as I have my great grandfather's funeral card that is contradictory to this info. Thanks! Sande in CA

Dianna I agree with you completely. I run our corporate virus protection software and am behind a firewall to make sure I do not get any virus or send any virus. Klez is nasty because it makes it look like anyone in the person's address book that has the virus is sending the virus out.
