KakWorm is a virus that is transmitted through a loophole in Outlook
Express. Its main malicious payload appears to be that at a certain time
in the month it closes down Windows. It can't be repaired like some
other viruses, but needs to be deleted along with the files it creates.
For further information, check out antivirus company websites such as
http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/kak.htm or
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/
A mine of information on all things to do with viruses, chain letters,
hoaxes etc is the CIAC site: http://ciac.llnl.gov/ciac/CIACHoaxes.html
Hope this helps -
