Hi Folks,
Virus sent to me today, (picacu.exe) trapped by my excellent ISP.
This often contains the virus WORM_KLEZ.H.

Brian:
Don't sweat it. KLEZ has been around for ages, and it can't be picked up
by people getting messages from the Olympus List (the List software
automagically strips content out of attachments -- I've received several
zero-length files from Oly List messages over the years, which means
they're harmless...). All standard anti-virus software picks it up and
eradicates it.
If you haven't got AV software, a special-purpose utility called "Stinger"
created by McAfee's Anti-Virus Emergency Response Team (AVERT) is available
for FREE at:

Download and run it. It'll stomp all known variants of KLEZ (along with
some other very prevalent threats), and they keep it up to date.
