Sorry if I infected you…
I’m getting msgs from various mail servers that the Klez virus – a worm – has been detected in an attachment I sent. Klez sends mail to people in your contact list. The message was apparently titled “A funny website.”
Sorry! Symantec/Norton antivirus checks all my outgoing email, is always resident, and does a thorough disk scan once a week, so I don’t know how this happened.
Well, here’s part of the answer. This is from the Symantec page about Klez:
Systems Affected: Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Me
Systems Not Affected: Macintosh, OS/2, Unix, Linux
In the discussion of this entry, Kevin Marks points out that “Klez is never sent from the address of someone infected. It sends emails from and to people in the infected one’s address book.” So, I am not the source of this particular outbreak. (I do, however, have a nasty groin rash. Photos at 11.)
Klez is never sent from the address of someone infected. It sends emails from and to people in the infected one’s address book.
You probably don’t have it.
I was coming to that conclusion since the bounces are coming from people not in my addressbook. Thanks for the info. You are a constant source of reality, Kevin…and I mean that in the good sense.
