This Klez virus is spoofing email addresses too, I keep getting bounce messages back to my nesr address, but they're not originating from either of my computers (actually originating from a conversent.net dsl user). Been getting them all day.

Damn you caught me trying to kill your computer...

Actually JC writes the truth of the Klez virus. I get it on a regular basis. This brings up a funny story because a guy at work got pissed because one of the topics the virus sends out is porn.. Well apparently someone who had my email address in their address book knows his wife.... and well. She got porn addressed from me and I don't even know her name or email address.

HOWEVER, that would mean someone here has the virus. Stoneman or NHROKETBOY are about the only people that I have emailed on this site.

BEST ADVICE KEEP YOUR VIRUS PROGRAM UPDATED AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK!

LOL

For example, Linda Anderson is using a computer that is infected with W32.Klez.E@mm; Linda is not using an antivirus program or does not have current virus definitions. When W32.Klez.gen@mm performs its emailing routine, it finds the email address of Harold Logan. It inserts Harold's email address into the "From" portion of an infected message that it then sends to Janet Bishop. Janet then contacts Harold and complains that he sent her an infected message, but when Harold scans his computer, Norton AntiVirus does not find anything--as would be expected--because his computer is not infected.

Oh, I didn't know 'bout that spoofing crap!
I hope the bastard who wrote that piece of shit is pleased with themselves.

Norton will keep me clean, I hope.
