Do not ever download Anti-virus 2009! (or anyother year it lives for!)
Hello again my merry muffin minions of madness and manic muffins! today I give you a blog on virus' and in particular. The Klez virus.
that's all for the intro. today

5.7 A: What is the Klez Virus!?!
The Klez virus has got to be the coakroach of virus', you can flush it down the toilet as many times as you like but to no avail. This normally comes in the victims inbox in either Outlook or just general e-mail. The Klez virus first appeared in late 2001 and is still probably the most prolific virus out there! (if not then I can think of another one) and because the infected sender's adress is not on the new e-mail, the worm is very difficult to track indeed.
At some times it acts like a worm, other times it acts like a trojan horse! It's really quite terrifying! That's not the worst part though, what is the worst part you ask? It only comes in SEVEN DIFFERENT VARIATIONS! One of the newest variants, known as: W32.Klez.H@mm is probably the most frightening form of Klez there is. This virus will damage your OS (Operating System) beyond repair! It does this by letting loose a worm called ElKern and overloads your computer with infected files. some times people will have to wipe windows completely from their Hard Drive and re-install just to hopefully purge.
Fear not, if you are reading this using a MAC then you are safe. If not, then I'm sorry just don't read any e-mails that say "Klez removal tool" from a colleague or friend.
for the real Klez removal tool, and I mean the REAL klez removal tool the link is below.

That is a link to the PC-World website which has information on the Klez virus and I would like to thank them for giving me some information.
5.7 B: If Klez isn't worse than this then I don't know what is!
this next virus is like trying to kill Chuck Norris: You just can't do it! but it looks very, very innocent from the outside.
It's called Anti-Virus 2009 (2009 for now anyway)
It will do absolutely nothing to help you
Do not download it
Anti-Virus 2009 is a virus specifically designed to stay there and not move. Once it's there there is absilutely nothing you can do! Not even F11 works! Say you have downloaded it and you think you are alright, you're not! Do not argue! once it's there it will do a scan and in about two seconds it will say you are infected, aside Anti-Virus you're not. Say "Stay unprotected" and continue to panic because you are well and truly stuffed! Anti-Virus fights dirty, quite literally. When I recieved it, it downloaded free and illegal porn onto my computer! It stops from you making backup files because it knows what you are doing, it stops you accessing control panel and program files because it knows what you are doing, it won't even let you put in blank discs! It's horrid! avoid this Anti-Virus 2009 at all costs!
5.7 C: Anti-Virus software beside the one I've just talked about.
There's alot of anti-virus software out there now and I thought I would review some for the muffin's friends, and also for my pleasure. I will be reviewing:
McAfee Anti-Virus
AVG
Windows Defender
those three are the most well known, I am not reviewing Norton because Norton donesn't even count for anti-virus software.
McAfee is a well known anti-virus software and is very very good at detecting things, however it does not actually heal.
AVG is brilliant! it detects and heals at stunning efficiency! I love it!
Windows Defender is also known as DCS: Doesn't Catch S**t. And my god it doesn't.
That's basically it in a nutshell. Thanks for now!
