Re: klez virus still around...

[Scott Carr <scott@tapehissrecordings.com>]

I believe that klez is able to gather e-mail addresses from the address
books on infected computers and uses them to spoof. Basically anyone who
is infected and happens to have your e-mail address in their address
book could be spreadin the virus and the virus is making it look like ir
came from you. Pretty evil.
