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.
