    3. >From the Rootsweb Review: 2d. KLEZ WORM WRIGGLES ON. Just when you think there is a break from Klez, it raises its ugly head in your e-mailbox. Many unsuspecting genealogists around the world have infected computers and continue to spread this worm. The W32.Klez.E (one of its variants) has a payload trigger for the sixth of every odd-numbered month. This means that if your computer is infected on July 6 it will disable common anti-virus products, do large-scale mailings to addresses it finds in your local files, in Outlook and ICQ address books. It also will modify your files by overwriting them with zeroes. Your precious genealogy (and other priceless) files are at risk. Anti-virus software is invaluable, provided you keep it updated and use it regularly. Obtain anti-virus software in stores and shops or download it online. http://housecall.antivirus.com/pc_housecall/ http://www.grisoft.com/ http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/ http://www.mcafee.com/anti-virus/ http://www.europe.f-secure.com/v-descs/ Also see "Internet Stuff You Need to Know" on Cyndi's List: http://www.cyndislist.com/internet.htm#Viruses -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com All outgoing mail virus free, scanned by Norton 2002
