Klez virus

Can someone tell me if there is anyway that I can stop getting this virus sent to my email everyday without changing my email address? For the past 3 days I am getting it twice a day. NAV has quarantined all of them but even then they are still showing up in my Inbox on Outlook Express and ready to be opened. Always before if I would ever get something and Norton quarantined it, it would not still be in my Inbox. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Norton Anti Virus is doing its job on your machine. The problem is, those who have your email address in their address book, are not protecting themselves. The Klez is a mass mailing worm that acts as a SMTP server. The people who are emailing you are not aware they are infected OR their email address was picked up off another infected computer and put in the From: line. Your best bet is to email everyone in your address book and send them this link for the Klez Removal Tool . Let them know that one of them is infected and needs to fix it on their end.

    Sorry don't know how to stop getting the emails.
    But, you might make a floppy of the NAV Klez Removal Tool. Have it handy. It works. Run it twice. Defrag. All's well.

    Make sure you don't have yourself in your address book. Thw virus sends itself to everyone in your address book including yourself.
