I got an email virus this morning .. it was from l milligan ... subject: A Special new website ... my Norton Antivirus got it but I read on the web its really bad.... its called W32KlezH@mm .... don't even click on it unless you have virus protection software on your computer ... and update your virus software before you do .... Jack Schofield replies: Klez is dangerous because it can infect a PC without you opening an attachment: viewing mail in a preview pane is enough. However, when Klez mails itself to other people, it chooses email addresses at random. It is possible for someone to receive an infected email that looks as though it came from you but came from someone else. The fact that an infected email has your address on it does not prove your PC is infected. There are three things all PC users need to do. First, check for viruses with an up-to-date set of virus signatures. Norton has only been able to detect this variant since April 17 - last Wednesday - so probably not many people will be up to date enough. ... talk to yall soon ST
