WARNING! There is a high risk Virus that I recieved from somebody. It travels
by e-mail and is known as "W32/Klez.h@MM". It is a high risk virus, rated at
level 4 by Norton. It is capable of disabling Anti0Virus software and rendering
windows almost useless. Symantec has released a fix for it, I recommend
everyone download and run this tool to make sure they do not have it, and
furthermore don't spread it to me again. Please read the following 2 sites for
detailed information and removal instructions:

After trying to run my Anti-Virus software the virus activated and damaged my
system to where I can not get into windows. I noticed the virus because after
it had activated it constantly would run a "Windows Installer" program that is
impossible to stop. Task Managaer does not even have "permission" to end the
task. And even if you manage to end it, it will turn on again and eventually
reboot your system. As soon as I get into windows, my system reboots before the
start menu is available.
Please pass this message along to help stop the spread of one of the largest
virus threats known. If people run the removal software and spread the word a
little better of this virus, then it will help many others out there. For those
of you on the AKLUG mailing list, I know it's off the Linux topic, but I still
got it from somebody, and there is a good chance that not all of you use 100%
linux.
