Dear list,

There is another virus that just appeared recently that you need to be
aware of. It is very well disguised, and one of the affects of the
virus is that it will send out messages and put other peoples names on
the from header in the email.

Here is the text of the messages that contain the virus:

W32/Klez.h@MM masquerades as a free immunity tool in at least one of the
messages used:
Subject: Worm Klez.E Immunity
Body: Klez.E is the most common world-wide spreading worm.It's very
dangerous by corrupting your files. Because of its very smart stealth
and anti-anti-virus technic,most common AV software can't detect or
clean it.We developed this free immunity tool to defeat the malicious
virus. You only need to run this tool once,and then Klez will never come
into your PC.
NOTE: Because this tool acts as a fake Klez to fool the real worm,some
AV monitor maybe cry when you run it. If so,Ignore the warning,and
select 'continue'. If you have any question,please mail to me.





If you get a copy of an email containing that information, just DELETE
it. Do not click on the blue link within the message that says E-mail
me. If you delete the message you will be fine.

I was alarmed when I started to get messages sent to me stating that my
computer was sending out messages with viruses attached, when I knew for
certain that I was not infected or even sending messages to people.
When I looked up the latest on Mcaffee.com, it was apparent that someone
had got the Klez virus and it found my email address in their mailbox
and was masquerading the messages as from me. Keep your eyes open, and
be careful.
