Recently I let my guard down, disabled antivirus - now I've got the Klez virus on my machine. Immediately ran my antivirus (Norton Systemworks) and the best it could do was recommend quarantine, which I have done. In laymen's terms - that means I still have the virus file on my machine but it is isolated so that it cannot interact with any other files on my machine - correct? Does this also mean that I will not expereince any ill effects from this file now?
I've updated my antivirus, quarantine is the only solution it gave me. Any suggestions? Patches? (I was runnung Netscape 7.02 at the time - no accounts set up in OE)

Take a look at the above links. Klez seems to disable AntiVirus programs. So, if you were able to quarantine it, you should be able to delete it and be ok. It depends a lot on the fact that there are a number of varieties of virus.
There are also standalone removers from Norton and McAfee: http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger is the one which I have.

Go to www.pandasoftware.com .You have two options there:
- On the left side of the page is Active scan
- On the right side of the page look at Repair Utilities - you will find one for KlezI

Additionally you can look at the Pandas virus library and find out more about KlezI virus.

When my system became infected with the Klez virus, Symantic recommended that I do the following: (1) uninstall Norton AV (or whatever other AV you are using; (2) run the Klez cleaning tool and then (3) re-boot and re-install your antivirus and get the immediate signiture file update.
