The Norton 2002 on my computer routinely detects klez and promptly quarantines it with no
problem.  If you have old definitions, it will get past, and then disable your anti-virus, but
recent definitions have no problem catching it.  The real key with anti-virus programs is to
update the definitions online at least once a week.  Since I have an always on connection, I
have Norton set to update every day.

some information that might come in handy.......some viruses cannot be detected by Norton or
many other virus detectors, removers, etc. For example the klez virus cannot be detected, it
goes into your computer as a hidden running program and disables any Norton type things that
you have.
