However, upon research the WORM_KLEZ.G worm is kinda fun, if you have a desire to clean, and clean, and clean. What happens is that unsuspecting people are emailing things out from their email programs with different files, different subjects, multiple times. It was found on the day that I posted to the group and I had already been infected. Now, I didn't open the file from the first email at all because I recognized that it was a person that was copied on a previous email the day before. Then, when I researched this person, another one came in. I looked at that file without opening and found that it had created several directories on my hard drive that previously weren't there (thanks to me knowing my directory structure by heart). I finally found the update on www.trendmicro.com where we get PC-Cilllin from. Did a thorough scan and found 8 files/directories were added/infected. This worm does nothing but take some memory on your peripherals and attached network devices. On the machine at MADD, there were 38 files/directories that were affected in about a three hour time frame. It sends out undeliverable emails to you stating that the email you sent didn't get there, but she never sent anything to him for the date/time stated. More information is coming in as I write this as it has affected so many people that I already know. Hope this finds all Linux boxes okay from this issue. The one thing that it does state is that Windows NT is unaffected by this worm, which is quite interesting.
