Hello Deborah,

That's great. I hope you don't mind or think I'm interferring, but I just

thought that while I am on the net, if I watched and let anybody know as

soon as I saw a virus in anybodys message it might save somebody's computer,

and stop the thing from spreading. We really should all run an anti-virus

program to protect our friends.

Good to hear from you Deborah

Regards from Bill P.

Bill,

No problem. I was an IT director at a university prior to having to retire

on disability and I completely understand the value of good anti-virus

protection. That is why I was so amazed that you said my email contained a

virus. I tend to be more careful than anyone I know and have even picked up

a few $ of late, repairing PC's infected with Klez.

The link to the Klez cleanup that you sent to me I had already run and ran

it again only to find nothing. My virus signatures are updated daily. I am

perplexed with this. I ran both Symantec and Data fellows anti-virus

programs. I learned the hard way with a network of over 700 computers that

1 anti-virus program was not always enough and still to this day... down to

my 2 computers at home... follow that rule.

I still do not find a virus. I have edited the registry, and done

everything that I could possibly think of to find what you said I sent... to

no avail. My computer reports so squeaky clean that I am at a loss. So,

let me pick your brain... with all that I have mentioned above... ya have

any ideas? Was the virus attached to the email that I responded to, maybe?

and my response just proliferated it further?

Baffled in PC land.

Deborah

You obviously did not understand my email message yesterday. The

klez virus is different from the other worm viruses. Regarding the

email with your name on it, that supposedly had a virus attached to

it, did you actually send that email yourself? Or could it be that

the klez virus sent it on your behalf from someone else's computer?

I recently received an email from a lady by the name of Peta and it

had the klez virus attached to it. I have the latest version of anti

virus software from Norton and it is updated DAILY as I am on cable

yet it still got through. I also have Zone Alarm firewall software

and that let it in. I was suspicious for two reasons. First, I knew

that Peta was away and her computer was not in use. Second, the

wording of the message was not like Peta. Before I deleted it, I

checked it's transmission details. For example, if you are using

Microsoft Outlook Express, right click on the email message in the

inbox, and when the drop down menu appears, click on Details. There

you have the transmission data. When I did that on Peta's message, I

saw that it had actually come from another address, which I

recognised, belonging to another lady by the name of Deirdre. I rang

Deirdre, and yes, she had an infected PC but didn't know what to do.

So the klez virus sent me an email from Deirdre disguised to make me

think it had come from Peta. So, Deborah, it is possible for the

klez virus to send someone an email with your name and address in

the 'from' box but it has not originated from your computer.

Go to the following internet address

http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.klez.gen@m

m.html

and read the information there, especially the paragraph on email

spoofing.

Jan,

Here is what wombat was talking about from the symantic site,

Email spoofing

Some variants of this worm use a technique known as " spoofing. " If so, the

worm randomly selects an address that it finds on an infected computer. It

uses this address as the " From " address that it uses when it performs its

mass-mailing routine. Numerous cases have been reported in which users of

uninfected computers received complaints that they sent an infected message

to someone else.

For example, is using a computer that is infected with

W32.Klez.E@mm; is not using an antivirus program or does not have

current virus definitions. When W32.Klez.gen@mm performs its emailing

routine, it finds the email address of Harold Logan. It inserts Harold's

email address into the " From " portion of an infected message that it then

sends to Janet Bishop. Janet then contacts Harold and complains that he sent

her an infected message, but when Harold scans his computer, Norton

AntiVirus does not find anything--as would be expected--because his computer

is not infected.

If you are using a current version of Norton AntiVirus and you have the most

recent virus definitions, and a full system scan with Norton AntiVirus set

to scan all files does not find anything, you can be confident that your

computer is not infected with this worm.

Hope this explains it.

Deborah

I thought that Norton would not pick up on the Worms. I got one once when I

had Norton Activated and up to date. Using W 98SE. I know 2000 will not

let them through

Greetings Bill.

> I thought that Norton would not pick up on the Worms.

It depends on the version of Norton, if the signature for the worm was

defined, and the mail program you use. Norton protects if you use

Microsoft Outlook / Exchange or Lotus Notes. But it does not protect if

you use other email packages. I think it may protect if you use

Microsoft Outlook Express. But I am not certain.

MSA people, which somebody said was a Worm. I'm usin Norton 2000 & Outlook

Express Currently with Windows 98SE

Hi , Lucky for me my Norton has been catching lots of viruses since Fri.

Mine is set up to check each incoming and outgoing message, and the whole

system once a week. I use Outlook Express, have Windows ME and Norton 2002.

After I got one virus, I sure didn't want anymore! Ginger
