Recently I have been receiving a lot of virus emails. The email will have an attached zip file with a virus called "Virus W32.Klez.H@mm" The virus will spread itself automatically by going to your address book and send out the virus emails to those people on your address book. I have received several ones from people that I don't think will send me a virus email such as brabrx7.com and marx7.com. For more info on this virus, please go to

A side note. I do not send any emails with attachment. I always upload everything to my website. If you have received any mail marked rotary extreme or some sort with an attachment, do not download it. I think some of my customers' computers might have been infected because I received virus emails from them.

Some virus email will even say the attachement is a fix for the virus. You can set up a hotmail or yahoo email account and their server will scan the virus for you automatically. So forward all your emails with an attachment to yahoo email account or hotmail account and open it from there. Hopefully their virus scan tool is always updated though.

This is what people get for using Outlook Express Klez is getting rather old, most virus definitions should include it now.

 

I received one of these also but norton caught and quarantined it.

Klez has been around for more than year now, there's nothing new here....Any up to date virus scanner (which you MUST be running) will prevent your machine from being infected...I get between 1 and 50 Klez emails a day. I just delete them...

Also, Klez spoofs the return address, so it is highly unlikely that the virus is coming from whom you think it is.
