>From what I hear, it's not really Klez that grows, it's just that some
viruses will piggy-back on top of Klez. I don't pay much attention to
the virus scene but I recall a few months ago hearing of one such virus
that isn't too dangerous by itself, but it becomes much nastier when
combined with Klez.

At the rate things are going, it won't be long before these things are
smarter than the average Windows user. On second thoughts, maybe this
has already happened :)
