Does that mean 124 different virii, or 124 infected files?

With KLEZ, you need to download the "Fix Tool", run it and follow the directions closely, MULTIPLE TIMES!!! Also, you may be looking only at the top of the iceberg. After I ran the fix tool and then re-scanned, I found that KLEZ had been hiding the MYPARTY worm as well. (In total, I removed over 140 KLEZ infected files and 15 MYPARTY files.)

The worst computer I successfully clean had over 2200 infected files, w/ 17 hidden infected folders. (Mostly Badtrans.A and a variety of others, none as destructive as KLEZ.) The only thing that I need to re-install was OE.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Harder

P.S. When PC-cillin can't delete the virus, it puts it in it's Quarantine folder. You can delete it from there.
