What does "hit" mean?  What does "clear" mean?  Did you infect yourself by
opening it?  If so, you'll have to follow the steps on one of the anti-virus
sites to clean your system up.  If you haven't been infected, just delete it
without launching the infected file.  You don't need to do anything else.
Scan your system if you're in doubt.

Just because you receive the klez virus/worm, doesn't mean you are infected.
I receive 2-3 of them a day (except for the last couple of days for some
reason).  DON'T OPEN THE ATTACHMENT, JUST DELETE IT.
