As quoted from http://www.sprufc.co.uk/kak.htm
"How To Clean up The KAK Virus And Prevent Recurrence
Have You Got It?
If you do not use Outlook Express (OE) for email then you are in the clear
- read no further."
So I was right all along - it isn't a HTML virus/worm. (Nor is it an
"e-mail virus" since such things still doesn't exists).
And the sollution is very funny (to not get this worm again):
"If you are using OE5 then use the Custom option. Scroll down and you'll
see Outlook Express. Put a tick in the box and leave the other boxes as
they are (any that are
preticked, leave that way as they are the default necessaries for the thing
to run. The download is now about 10Mb
If you are using a version earlier than OE5 then you need to download the
entire 27Mb, unfortunately."
What an idiotic sollution - downloading 27M !
Actually it makes me start wondering if it isn't M$ employed people that to
do this as part of their job, by constantly forcing the user to download
the latest version they remain having a firm grip on the market of people
that don't understand that there are other companys then M$ making programs
out there.
