Can someone help me get rid of a computer virus?

Apparently our home e-mail has been infected with the W32.Klez virus. BF and I have 3 e-mails, one each, plus a joint account. It started with his, then our joint. Fortunately my individual account is safe for now.

We've been getting tons of "undeliverable" messages from people/e-mail addresses we don't even know.

If someone could either tell me how to get rid of it or steer me towards a good website, I'd appreciate it. One of our friends sent us an e-mail telling us we've been infected, and I think he can help us, but sometimes it can take a while to get an e-mail response from him!

Get norton antivirus for your pc. It is worth it. It will contain it. I 'caught' this virus on mine and it contained it. Sorry, don't know how to help you other than that.

After using this, make sure you have an anti virus program, and make sure it is updated weekly, using the updater. I get several klez emails a week, Norton stops every one of them.

Thanks Dan!

I came across that symantec site last night too, but I was wondering if I can use it on my computer...I'm still running Windows 95 on it! I'll try it tonight when I get home.
