If you have a file name "braces_red...", somewhere on your machine, then you most likely have the virus. The virus is famous for taking a file from your pc, attaching it and sending it - in an attempt to make it look important.

Please do a search for braces_red*.* on your pc like this:

1. right-click START
2. click explore
3. select search
4. type in braces_red*.* in the "search for files and folders..." box
5. type c:\ in the "Look in" box.
6. For search options, check "advanced options" and make sure that "search subfolders" is checked.
7. click "search now".

These instructions are for Windows ME.... There might be a slight variation in these instructions if you are running a different version of windows.

If you find this file, then there is 99% chance that your machine is infected. If you need help cleaning it, let me know... This virus is not always easy to get rid of.

Joking aside... If you recognize this picture (filename angie_185.jpg), then you probably have Klez resident on your machine...

lol... this is too funny...

That's what I do! When I'm not out Prowlin', I run a web hosting/email company. Email is my specialty. I block all viruses and almost all SPAM from getting to your mailbox, and therefore, from getting to your PC. Check out my site at www.theaardvark.com

This is not a sales forum, so I won't go into detail here. If anyone is interested or wants to know more, drop me a line.

I am picking on you personally and some other folks, because you were on-line at the time I received this virus in email... There is strong likelihood that one of you has a dangerous virus on your machine.

If you have not read this already, then please read this dicussion: http://www.prowleronline.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/006879.html

If you have any questions, feel free to ask...

You've got the wrong dude! Just because someone is on line the same time as you doesn't mean they have sent you anything. I have run both of your tests with 0 results. I as much suspected that. I have a firewall, virus scan, and spam blocking on my gateway. On my computer, I have Norton Corporate Edition, which is updated a minimum of once a week. I run regular virus scans and as you would expect, it is clean as a whistle.

If you are having difficulties with KLEZ, might I suggest you get Norton Corporate Edition? It is able to detect KLEZ.
