    3. When I contracted Kak it blew my signature file because it hits there first. I removed the signature file after reading about the worm. Is your signature file still in place or did you set in a new one? Be sure to manually search for Kak and .hta as well as using McAfee for scanning. I independently discovered another file that had not been removed by McAfee. Elaine KHarrison wrote: > > I need help again : ) > > I must have contacted the kak virus.
