Hello everyone...

I know this is difficult to do when you've been sent a computer virus 
but try not to point fingers at specific people... things are not always 
what they seem!  I work as a computer security engineer for a large 
international company with anti-virus as my niche.  The "W32/Klez@MM" 
virus (among others) is a tricky little devil...  " the worm has the 
ability to spoof the From: field (often set to an address found on the 
victim's machine)"  Please read more at the following link: 
 http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_99455.htm  Though this is specifically 
from McAfee, Symantec and others anti-virus sites have more information 
as well.  The best thing you all can do (and this goes for PC's and 
Mac's!) is to make sure you have the LATEST anti-virus software ENGINE 
and VIRUS DEFINITIONS and have your operating systems patched for any 
security holes...  this goes for Internet Explorer and Netscape 
browsers, as well!  I know I'll hear flack from Mac and Linux users but 
those OS's have their security issues too...  Not much is safe these days...

Anyway...  keep yourself informed about these things if you are going to 
work or play on the Internet.

Cheers!

Janine
