WORM_KLEZ.E is a destructive mass-mailing worm that can propagate copies of
itself across network drives. Upon execution, it drops two executable
files, WINK*.EXE and WQK.EXE, in the Windows System folder. It also creates
registry entries that allow it to run at system startup. Upon execution, this
worm terminates processes, and occasionally deletes files associated with certain
antivirus programs.
