Well, I just got an e-mail from 'norton.com' saying that the Klez virus is a very powerful virus and that running the attached '*.com' file would keep the virus from visiting my machine ever again.

You know, I wouldn't worry about this nonsence so much, but I know a TON of idiots that will run this file because they just don't know!

Pass the message, maybe we can help put a stop to this one before it pounds us again.

too, I'm not sure if it is anything new, but I have noticed things picking up at a faster rate today.

I set up exception rules that send all the garbage to a new 'virus inbox' in Outlook, and it just corrupted at a little more than 16,000 emails. I didn't realize there was a size limit on Outlook, but I ran the inbox repair tool (scanpst.exe), then deleted them all and it now works fine.

I'm looking forward to Sept. 10, when this is all suppose to be finished!
