Getting Rid of Klez

Klez is a real pain in the butt, because it tries to circumnavigate the antivirus programs that you have on your computer. The best way to remove Klez is by using Symantec's Klez fix, yes the maker of Norton Antivirus, put out a freeware program that removes Klez from your system. Yes, they're giving it free because Klez is such an annoying pain in the butt. You can download the Klez fix at: Klez removal tool. I suggest this as the universal fix at the moment, because it's the easiest for me to explain :) Well, I mean that this will work on all Windows systems and each of the Antivirus programs give different instructions for the removal of Klez.

Fortunately, I've never been infected with Klez, because I have a virus scanner that scans attachments and I also don't open attachments. Symantec gives a nice little instruction page with this Klez removal tool. You'll have to start your computer in safe mode and do this from a command prompt, but you would have to do this with all the current antivirus programs, because the nature of Klez is to get around antivirus programs you have to apply the fix at the command prompt.

You can do all this manually and edit the registry removing the file and other such things, but it's just easier to do it this way and I trust Symantec to produce a good product that's easy to understand. Please download this and check your comp, Klez will only go away once people start fixing this problem.
