    Looks like Kazaa is becoming a hazardous place to hang out. Thanks for the tip.
    As great Grampa Alfons always used to say " if you don't know where to start, go back to the beginning". Esconaba in da moonlite.

    Mcafee's tool Stinger has been updated to detect, remove and repair the effects of this worm. Stinger can be downloaded at:

    Yesterday it worked.
    Today it is not working.
    Windows is like that.

    AntiKlez was impressive some months ago when I used it at work to disinfect two machines...

    I got the notification from eTrust too. Looks like the AV companies are jumping on this one pretty fast. Thank goodness.
