Dougal Campbell's geek ramblings

WordPress, web development, and world domination.

KLEZ Redux

A friend of mine asked me how I filter KLEZ in my Outlook mail client. I have two rules for this, and they look like so:

  Apply this rule after the message arrives
  with Content-Type: audio/x-midi; in the message header
    and which has an attachment
  delete it

The second rule is the same, except the content type is “audio/x-wav
instead of “audio/x-midi“. You also might want to use the “permanently
delete
” action instead of the regular delete. I’d also advise that you
turn off the Preview Pane for your Deleted Items folder.

And of course the most important thing you should do is to run some
antivirus software, keep it up-to-date, and also keep your Windows system patched.
