I get it occasionaly, but I think most of the people who have me on 
their contact list run Linux, so...

Be aware that there are versions of KLEZ that include something like 
chernobyl in their payload.  This is an ugly one because it actually 
ERASES THE FLASH BIOS on your system causing your system to be 
PERMENANTLY UNUSABLE unless the BIOS flash ROM is reburned or replaced.
