F-Secure Virus Research Team found the following differences in Klez.H variant compared to its previous versions:
Subject: Worm Klez.E immunity Body: Klez.E is the most common world-wide spreading worm.It's very dangerous by corrupting your files. Because of its very smart stealth and anti-anti-virus technic,most common AV software can't detect or clean it. We developed this free immunity tool to defeat the malicious virus. You only need to run this tool once,and then Klez will never come into your PC. NOTE: Because this tool acts as a fake Klez to fool the real worm,some AV monitor maybe cry when you run it. If so,Ignore the warning,and select 'continue'. If you have any question,please mail to me.The 'mail to me' is represented as a link to the sender's email address. Note that this address is not always the real sender's address.
