Klez is still rampant!
I get one or two klez emails a day. My system is protected
from it, but it is a big program and wastes a lot of download time.

Sadly the only solution for email worms in general is:

If you wonder what the file attachment is- DON'T open it.
only open pre-arranged  email files that you expect and know the name of.
