    I know of several people who have been having a big problem with receiving Korean Spam e-mails.  One in particular, receives eight plus Korean spam mails per day.  This has greatly disrupted their business.  The information has been sent to the Korean War Project, see link below. If you are having any trouble with the Korean spam the links below will provide you with more information.

    Some of these people have also been infected with the Klez as well as other people they communicate with, so it has infected a number of personal and business computers, some are on networks, some are not.  They have gone to the Symantec site and used their tool to remove the virus but it keeps re-appearing.  The virus provider sites are so busy they are not able to respond to their requests for help.   
    
    As this is greatly disrupting businesses, both by the Korean spam e-mails and the Klez virus, what is the best method for removing the virus, formatting their hard drives on the personal PCs?  What about on the network drives?  Klez has disabled their virus programs a number of times. Their businesses are suffering loss due to this latest situation with both the Korean Spam and the Klez virus.  Any suggestions you may have that I can pass onto these businesses would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Heidi
