PE_Kern virus

[LDaveM]

I have a client who is always getting this virus. He is using cable internet connection, McAfee Av, Linksys router and is connected 24/7.
My question is where is this virus coming from and how is it getting into his system?
I have deleted and repaired this 3 or 4 times, but it is always coming back. I have downloades, from PC Cillin the fixes that they reccomend for this.
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Dave

My notes indicate that this virus is a payload of the Klez worm. It could be hiding in one of the shares on another PC or in a hidden directory. James P. Cottingham

yes I have McAfee and have downloaded the latest upgrades. I just wonder where it comes from and what I need to tell my client how to avoid getting it.
Thanks,
