I have Norton AntiVirus...on my system. Will this stop this
KAK Virus? Because I keep updated my Norton AntiVirus system,
and I scanned regularly, but I haven't had any virus show up.

To All Concerned Re: the KAK - Worm Virus:
If you are running Internet Explorer, Outlook, and/or
Outlook Express, I recommend you go to the following
Microsoft site:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms99-032.asp
Read the bulletin, and download the
Patch Available for "scriptlet.typelib/Eyedog" Vulnerability.
This "patch" will supposedly prevent you from being infected by
this virus.
There is much other reference material on this subjec on the 'net;
just enter
KAK or KAK - Worm in most any search engine.
SYMANTEC Service & Support has the instructions for deleting the
virus. This is what I used to delete it from my computer.
Before doing any of this, go to this web site and it will scan your
computer FREE and tell u if you are infected.
http://housecall.antivirus.com/housecall/start_corp.asp
After you delete the virus you should install FREE from Microsoft
their latest
version of Out Look Express and update your computer.
If you are fairly new to computers and don't feel as though u are
capabile of deleting the Virus take it to someone and have it done
BEFORE THE 1ST OF APRIL. This is when the Virus will do the damage.
Again, I am so sorry for this. I simply did not know I had the Virus
until yesterday. If I can be of further help to you, please don't
hesitate to contact me. Vicki K
