    3. This is probably the "Klez Virus" "w32" and "MM" are frequently associated with it. Also CAPITAL LETTERS where one uses small case. Go to symantic.com and search virus definitions for "klez" & install this . It is the only thing that will catch this virus. I had Norton 2002 & McAfee newest edition with 2 day old recent updates and NEVER OPENED the attachment. I clicked once on the message to delete & it walked right in. After corrupting my address book it went through my photo program, tripmaker, family tree etc until my hard drive crashed & after reformatting windows, I still recieve "Undeliverable mail that I NEVER sent" P.S. It can change its name everytime it goes from one program to another. good luck, Ken PPS. EVERYBODY ......BACK UP EVERYTHING YOU HAVE...once inside, It corrupts everything & you will lose EVERYTHING>>>>>>>>>>backing up afterward will re-install klez..... > [Original Message] > From: <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Date: 8/26/02 4:29:20 PM > Subject: [KING] VIRUS WARNING!!!!
