I appreciated the post... Klez is one of those viruses that is a daily plague at LIGO. No matter how many times you eradicate it, it seems to rear its ugly head again. You have to realize that we HAVE to run winblows and I am only one admin... therefore, there are lots of boxen that do not get the proper attention they deserve. I may be dealing with PhD Physicists here, but most of them don't know how to set up a damn email account.
