There is a particularly nasty worm/virus making the rounds right now. It's called KLEZ. It appears in your inbox as an update to your virus software. The email tells you to disable your AV software so it can 'pretend' to be the virus to clean your computer. DON'T DO IT! It is actually the virus. Never disable your AV software. Please be sure you have the most current updates on your virus software and run scans frequently. NOTE: No one on this list is infected. Thank you for your time and patience, Tracy IRISH-NEW-YORK-CITY list admin

The KLEZ actually turned OFF and disabled my husband's anti-virus program. It would then not allow me to turn it back on, nor would it allow me to download the patch to check for the virus of fix it. ----- Original Message ----- From: <GaelEire@aol.com> To: <IRISH-NEW-YORK-CITY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 12:42 AM Subject: [IRISH-NYC] Virus Warning > There is a particularly nasty worm/virus making the rounds right now.
