well, this is just fucking great. i got a virus that has infected Outlook Express or something. It is sending viruses to every address in my address book and some that aren't even in the address book. I've been getting shitloads of emails (mostly wrongful delivery notification mails). one email i got from the barnes and noble site saying that i sent an email to them with the virus "WORM_KLEZ.H" attached to it. well...i was wondering how fuck to get rid of this stupid fucking thing. help would be much appreciated

just so you know, i think the mail that it sends out goes something like this...
"i made a game
i just made this game
would you like to try my game?"

I think it all started with the Declaration of Independence -- the idea that we had the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That pursuit is what took America from the revolution to the computer age in 200 years. But the progress has come at a price. The obvious being the people that were exploited to make it possible; the not so obvious being us, the first group of people that were given no obvious frontiers to conquer. We hear stories about the good old days that don't seem to apply anymore. It's a generation gap that leaves us without role models. But the bright side is that without role models, there are no roles. Maybe that's what the 60s were all about -- getting rid of the roles. But what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, the choices become overwhelming. Sometimes it just makes everything feel hopeless. So we destroy our bodies in the search of an ideal. Try to salvage relationships that don't work. We feel we must do something, instead of doing something that we feel. It is the prison of self-imposed momentum, and the sad part is that we get used to it. It reminds me of a song I heard the other day. It's called "The Going Nowhere Fast." But the people I have met here have shown me another side of Nowhere. They've pointed out the beautiful irony that stagnation makes it easy to stop and smell the roses, if we just let it. What would we be if we had nothing to rebel against? Well we could finally be ourselves, the first group of people who stopped looking for the answers long enough to appreciate the questions. And all we have to do is to make our own Declaration of Independence. We can embrace the right to life and liberty by simply realizing that happiness exists -- not to pursue, but to accept. After that the only challenge would be to make sure with the rest of our lives that we weren't just another fad. I don't know, it's an idea. What do you think?

I've been getting Norton Anti-Virus alerts at least twice a day all week from e-mails with this thing attached. As much as I hate to pour salt in an open wound... Maybe if you kept your definitions up to date you wouldn't be in this predicament. :-p

And how would you go about updating the definitions if they service is expired and you are too cheap to renew?

Your live update most likely expired. You can still download the virus definitions.. You just have to do it manually.

In the end it doesn't even matter

Virus definition updates never expire (at least not with Norton or McAfee). It's "program" updates that only last a year.

I've been getting these nonstop for almost 2 months now. Each time I get it I quarantine it with Norton's. I've gotten the delivery failure e-mails as well, which made me thought I was a victim too but I've tried the removal tool on a couple of occasions and it comes up with absolutely no infection.

That's probably a reference to your subscription which does expire, usually annually. I'm not sure about being able to manually add the new def's like Barch said, but I just go and pay the renewal fee - it's like $5 bucks (I think). Even if it's more, don't you think it's worth it in the long run to help avoid having to reformat your whole drive and reinstalling everything (in a worst-case scenario, of course). I'm the first person to say "fuck paying, get it for free", but sometimes shelling out a little cash pays off in the long-run.

Just my $0.02 - I got one of these emails recently and I scanned it, the virus was found, quarantined, and I deleted it. A full system sweep showed no other virii to be found, and U update my defs on a daily basis (sometimes there are new ones, sometimes there aren't).

I recommend trying Norton's Intelligent Updater. That is a pretty good manual updater.

Here is the deal:
I had Norton 2001 until I was hooked up with Norton 2002. Now with 2002 I was able to install all of the utilties (cleansweep, disk doctor, etc) however I was unable to install the actual Norton 2002 software because I can't find the Norton 2001 uninstall program, and I've looked everywhere on my computer. I've done searches and what not. So the 2001 subscription ended a while ago and I haven't been able to get new definitions since. Now if I can find the Norton 2001 uninstall anywhere on my computer I'm sure I will be able to get the subscriptions for another year.
With intelligent updater and the other program (I forget the name of it) you have to have your subscription not expired for it to work. So i can't use that either.

Delete all traces of the program, (norton & symantec), do a regclean, and re-install. Don't use systemworks. It is a waste of RAM, and space. Just use their antivirus. If you need more help, you know where to find me.

Did you mean SystemDoctor? you don't have to enable the memory resident stuff.
I happen to like speed disk for defrag for example.

As for uninstall, sometimes you need the cd to uninstall. Did you try to install the new version over the old (it will ask if you want it to uninstall), or did you just try to uninstall it?

If you Own systemworks (I know that is foreign to some), you can usually find some CompUSA deal like pay 25 get $20 rebate.

Also, if you uninstall and then re-install, it will now give you the full 6 mos (or whatever it is) of free updates.

I think that that is what he tried to do. When you run the install it looks for previous versions. It tries to remove them using the uninstall.exe.

But, cleansweep will likely remove the program whether you have the unistall file or not.

So if I read this right, you tried to uninstall Norton 2001, then install Norton 2002 cleanly, but you couldn't remove 2001 totally, so when you installed 2002 it "kept" some info (like your subscription info) from 2001, I think?

On the symantec site there is a small program called SYMCLEAN.EXE - you use this after you uninstall any Norton's software to get "all" of it out (uninstall, reboot, run symclean, reboot, done). If it's not there, let me know - I have it at home and I can email it to you when I get there tonight.

If you still have 2002, it couldn't hurt to uninstall it-run symclean-reinstall it. That should totally clean you out so when you reinstall 2002 it will be as if you never had any Norton stuff before, and you'll get (at the very least) a full year of free live-updates.

This definitely works because when I upped from Win98 to XP I had to up to Nortons SW 2002 (because 2001 wouldn't run under XP) and initially, it was giving me problems about another version of SW being on the machine even though I uninstalled it. Once I ran Symclean, the 2002 install went smooth as silk.

Ok, lets get this straight. I can:

1. Use cleansweep to get rid of Norton 2001. And then install the 2002.

2. I can uninstall and buy a copy. (That will be the day)

3. Uninstall everything. Run an exe program. And then reinstall.

From the looks of it my choices are very slim. But I like the idea of using cleansweep to get rid of everything. Then that exe to get rid of it more. And then hopefully reinstall everything.

And for the record... when you install 2002 it prompts you to get rid of 2001, and it tries to automatically. But it just couldn't find the file.
