If you have a windows box around, you might check www.grisoft.com and
download their free anti-virus AVG6.0.  It finds them, has a healing
process, and the price is hard to beat.

WRT to Klez.E worm, seeing "Klez Immunity" messages promising a fix that
anti-virus programs might 'mistakenly' identify as the worm, but run
attachment anyway to gain immunity, and postmaster 'bounce' messages with
Klez.E attached.  Getting a little more nefarious for the unwary windows
user.
