Recommend to everyone to do a virus scan of their computer, but
often times the Klez virus will disable personal virus
programs,
so use an online site like one of the ones below:
http://www.trendmicro.com/free_tools/
or
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/ (Look under the
heading "virus definitions" for the link which says "Free
Online
Virus and Security Check.)
