In an earlier post, someone told me that my e-mail address is being spoofed by the Klez virus. Is there anyway to put an end to this? I get 5 or more messages a day from unknown sources telling me that an e-mail I sent (which I didn't) had the Klez virus attached. It's so annoying!!! Any advice?

Two ways I know of: obtain the header information and set a filter/block for the machine sending the e-mail.
2: Have your e-mail account disabled and create a new one.

On the other hand you may actually have the virus on your system, stop by www.sarc and download the Klez removal tool and spend a couple of minutes cleaning your system..just in case

After making sure you do not have the Klez virus by running an up to date virus scan, an online virus scan like HouseCall_AV AND downloaded and ran a Klez removal tool just to make sure,then you would be advised to send a short e-mail to everyone who has your e-mail address and let them know you have been receiving Klez infected e-mails and ask them to run an updated virus scan on their systems to make sure its not them.
However, getting five or more a day suggest your e-mail address may be on someones "list" and you may need to track it back to the source(s).
Four times in recent months I have been able to track such e-mails back to the source IP address and have the ISP handle the problem user. You have to know how to read the header source information, starting by looking at the "Return Path:" in the header and see if they come from the same e-mail address, and verify with the IP address.
