I just removed the Kak worm virus from an office laptop, lovely bit of work,
writes itself to the reg, Autoexec.bat and then makes itself the default sig
in OutLook Express. Funny thing was the only reason the Laptop owner brought
the thing to me to look at was that McAfee VShield was crashing every time
the PC started with a "Unknowd Error IN module VShield blah blah blah"
Nice if users ever updated their virii sigs...
