Virus Alert - Again
I'm getting tired of telling everyone about this one, but someone in the DB has this virus and hasn't killed it yet.
Delete any attachment to a letter that says:
SUBJECT: Worm Klez.E immunity
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.
This is a message sent out either BY THE VIRUS or BY PEOPLE TRYING TO SPREAD THE VIRUS. It's funny how it says "some AV monitor maybe cry when you run it" - which, despite the broken English, is funny because it is the virus and not some mysterious "fake version to fool the real one".
Other e-mail's the virus likes to send have vague titles like "Check For Great Justice" with nothing in the body of the mail and an attachment. DELETE them. Do not OPEN the attachment. Even if it seems to be from someone you know.
Write back to that person and ask if they sent you anything. Sure it's annoying, but I feel the virus would be far worse than a few quick, harmless e-mail sent around.
Find out more about this annoying virus here.
Simply stated, get virus removal tools on OFFICIAL sites, like Symantec, not in your e-mail from people you might not even know.

I dont know if this is related to Klez or not but recently I have received mail allegedly from members of the EH who I dont have any contact with that contain attatchments, when this mail arrives it launches Window Media Player is this the same thing?
Could be a related condition or a completely different virus altogether.
Another crafty message from the Klez virus - trying to spread itself - follows:
The attachment associated with this message is the Klez virus.
Again these messages come from people you may or may not know, either from the DB or not. Also they are almost NEVER from the person they say they are from.
One property of the virus is to infect a user's address book. If DB member APP Newbie has GMFirefox & DGM Mai in their address book, it is quite possible that Klez will create an e-mail that sends to DGM Mai and claimes to be "from" GM Firefox with a copy of the virus attached.
Lately I have received messages "from" the KHP labeled "a excite game" with an attachment that was the Klez virus. Someone has the Klez virus, as well as the KHP and the HRLD in their address book.
