You got it Mike,
Hary almost undoubtedly has been bit, and its a tough lesson.
but I personally think its irresponsible to continue using email
while infected. Just doing exactly what the virus writers want
you too.

Yeah it hurts, because removing the Klez  virus is not simply letting
your anti virus program do its thing, assuming he has one, but
takes special help.

for years blind people have had a reputation among some systems
people for being spreaders of viruses.  Mostly that's not fare,
and we have lots else to worry about, but we have no choice but
to take this seriously if we wish to be taken seriously.

I know of users who have bought systems from big name dealers and
have no idea if they have anti virus programs installed.  This is
grossly negligent behavior on the part of the dealers.

end of diatribe, this time <G>
