For the past two weeks I've been getting weird e-mails like the one below. I never sent an e-mail to that person. Furthermore, I RARELY open any attachments even from people I know. Someone suggested that I might have the virus mentioned. I went to Microsoft and downloaded a program to identify and remove all forms of the virus w32.klez.h@mm. However, the program did NOT identify the virus. What do you think is going on??????? Please help. I should mention that I have NOT received any e-mails from people I know indicating that they got a virus from me. Also, I'm running Win 98. \This message has been processed by Brightma il(TM) Anti-Virus using Symantec's Norton AntiVirus Technology.

Your address is being spoofed by the Klez. This is one of the ways that the virus tries to spread itself. Someone who had your address was probably infected and the chain continues. Since your attempts to insure your system is clean by using your antivirus program, and other steps tell you there is no infection, you should feel secure. I get them all the time. Just do not get curious, just delete them! Take care!

The capt knows...as he knows I do.I get several one day,none for several days,and several more the next day.Just delete 'em.Look for e-mails that are in the range of 100k to about 175k...usually a tell-tale sign that it's the klez....

How do I protect my computer from or check if I have w32.klez.h@mm?
