It may only be a matter of time before you're accused of spreading the Klez virus.
A month after it started spreading, the Klez.h worm isn't slowing down, said antivirus experts on Friday. Moreover, the worm's technique of forging the address of the sender on each infected e-mail message is creating a flood of warnings from gateway antivirus software informing the wrong people that they are infected.
Apart from magnifying the amount of spam produced by the virus, the incorrect identification of those who are infected is also responsible for hindering efforts to fight the spread of the worm.
When a user opens the attachment, the virus starts up its own e-mail engine and mass mails itself to e-mail addresses found in various files on the PC, using a source address culled from those addresses. Klez.h can also send out a random file from the PC as an attachment, along with the e-mail that carries the worm, potentiall passing confidential information.
In some instances, the worm also drops one of several other viruses, including the destructive CIH, and tries to remove any active antivirus software from the system.
Overall, the Klez.h variant has been extremely successful.
This thing is causing all sorts of hate and discontent. So keep your virus software updated! Watch those e-mails. Remember the golden rule: "When In Doubt, Throw It Out!"

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
I just got an email from "membersupport" with the subject "Worm Klez.e immunity"
I wonder what it is *DELETE*

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.
That's so funny.
