Might be the Klez- Posted by Ari [Email] (#2847) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Ari) on Wed, 22 May 2002 17:01:27 In Reply to: HELP, virus running amok. Does anyone have a fix?, Anders, Wed, 22 May 2002 16:40:23 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
There's a particularly nasty virus running around now - Klez and its variants. It mails itself to people in your address book, but it 'spoofs' the addresses - to the person getting the email, it looks like it was sent by someone in your address book, not you. But if you (or the recipient) opens the headers, it's obvious.
Klez exploits a rather stupid loophole in Microsoft Explorer.

Of course, it might not be Klez - Lord knows, there are plenty of email viruses out there. I recommend a good virus program, like Mcfee or the like. Yes, it may cost a few bucks, but that's life. It's better than spamming the world, or having your computer lunch itself.
Good luck!
