I received the following msg this morning.

****************************************
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.
*******************************************

It could be the most idiotic virus spreading msg I have ever seen. ^_^

All these type of messages play on the "fear factor" & yep you can bet there were plenty who fell for it.
I came back from vacation recently to find a colleague had gone round the whole office deleting a necessary file due to a similar scam.
