W32.Klez Removal Tool
Last Updated on: May 22, 2002 at 09:03:23 PM PDT
Symantec offers a tool to remove infections of all known variants of W32.Klez@mm and all known variants of W32.Elkern.
An online demonstration on how to download and run the tool is available with audio and without audio.
Note about W32.Klez.gen@mm detections:
W32.Klez.gen@mm is a generic detection that detects variants of W32.Klez. Computers that are infected with W32.Klez.gen@mm have most likely been exposed to either W32.Klez.E@mm or W32.Klez.H@mm. If your computer is detected as infected with W32.Klez.gen@mm, download and run the tool. In most case, the tool will be able to remove the infection.
What the tool does
The W32.Klez Removal Tool does the following:
It terminates all processes that are associated with W32.Klez@mm or W32.Elkern.
It deletes the W32.Klez@mm services.
It removes the registry entries that were created by W32.Klez@mm.
It detects all types of W32.Klez@mm and W32.ElKern infections, and repairs files that can be repaired.
NOTES:
A file that is infected with W32.Klez.E@mm or W32.Klez.H@mm includes a link to the encrypted host file. If the encrypted file does not exist at that link, the tool deletes the infected file because it is not repairable, and the encrypted file is not restored.
The W32.ElKern repair removes the viral code from the file. It does not ensure that a file that is repaired from W32.ElKern will run because this virus often corrupts files.

I ran the tool on my system and it found one file that my main anti-virus program missed and deleted it and repaired another file that had been damaged. The tool itself ran a scan of my system in less than 10 minutes and can either be installed on the hard drive or on disk. |

the obvious stuff IS humorous
its the little pixle sized majik lantern
criminal creep stuff
brought to you through you own hard earned "tax" "federal reserve notes"
that are the worst crime
just be glad that the PTB can see your kneked backside
up close and personal
as you show them your best face
you know i always wondered about those who did not have a life of their own
yet lived at the public trough
to spy upon others lives
buttz that a whole nother story
