I got an email recently .(like in the past hour) It was in my yahoo/Lego
account. It was the W32.klez virus. It was saved as an attachment that was
labeled ':Re_' or something like that, along with 3 safe (but empty) txt
files. The email was titled 'Www.ozbricks.com' and I've forgotten who sent
it, but the name was not familiar. It had no text. I deleted the email.
What exactly is the W32.klez virus?
