Klez: The Virus That Won't Die [New Window]
Andrew Brandt
From the September 2002 issue of PC World magazine
Posted Thursday, August 01, 2002

"The Klez worm is approaching its seventh month of wriggling across the Web, making it one of the most persistent viruses ever. And experts warn that it may be a harbinger of new viruses that use a combination of pernicious approaches to go from PC to PC."-[PC World magazine On-line]

How It Works

Klez can be considered a double threat: 1. The Klez Worm is software that distributes itself like a virus but; 2. it behaves like a worm sometimes and at other times like a Trojan horse.

"Klez usually arrives in the in-boxes of unsuspecting victims as a file attachment. It uses various subject lines, including "Klez removal tool". (For the real tool, visit PC World Downloads library.")

References: "How It Works: Viruses" explains more on different virus types. [PC World magazine]
