Klez Virus

I received an email today and when I went to download the "game" I was notified that I had the Klez virus. I immediately downloaded the fix, but it can't find the virus. So far it doesn't look like anything on my computer has been affected by the virus. Is there a possibility that I really don't have it? How can I tell for sure? Thank you for your help!

    Run a full virus scan and see what it reports.

    I did run a full virus scan and it didn't show anything. Do you think I'm okay?

    Hi,

    What program told you that there was a virus?
    If it was Norton, you probably have it set to auto fix of delete the file.
    Yes?

    Yes, I do have auto-repair. When the message came up that I had the Klez virus it also said it couldn't repair. Does that mean that it was automatically deleted?

    Sounds like NAV caught it OK...have a look in Quarantine and see if the file is there...if so, delete from Quarantine.

    May want to watch out though.
    I've been getting 4-5 of those every week.
    I fell for one (accually didnt' have patch for OE) and got infected when I didnt' have my AV installed. Didn't know it until ZA wanted me to give wink**.exe server permission.

    Thanks Dan, there's nothing in quarantine, so I guess I'm all set.

    Thanks to all that replied! I feel so much better!

    Hi again,

    Look in the Quarantined Items folder.
    Do you have Norton set to auto delete the files as they come in?
