Received this info from another group I am on. Thought the info re:
attachments was worth noting. Sincerely, Pat in SNJ
> With some infections, your virus protection program will be
> disabled. Free removal tools are available from several virus
> protection companies. We ran the tool at Symantec
> (http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/, scroll to Removal
> Tools, and click on "W32.Klez") just to be absolutely sure we were
> not infected. Running this tool is somewhat involved, so it is best
> to first update your virus definition files (if your protection
> program is working), then do a complete scan of your computer, and
> finally run the removal tool only if you are infected.

> In the meantime, we recommend that you never open an attachment, even
> from someone you know well, unless the text of the message tells you
> there is an attachment included. Whenever you send an attachment,
> please inform your recipient in your message.
>As a final precaution,
> we don't open attachments from anyone, even if announced, if the
> attached files are of the types .vbs, .bat, .exe, .pif, and .scr
> since these types are most often used to propagate viruses and most
> people can't generate such files to begin with. It may be possible
> for you to configure your email server to block or remove such files
> from your email before it reaches your computer.
