Guest guest Posted May 12, 2002 Report Share Posted May 12, 2002 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.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2002 Report Share Posted May 12, 2002 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.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2002 Report Share Posted May 12, 2002 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.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2002 Report Share Posted May 13, 2002 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.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 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. Regards, =jbf= B.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 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!

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 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!
