Ken, the virus doesn't pick and choose people because of any

particular reason. It just proliferates across the internet because

those who have it are unaware of what it is doing on their machine. I

see that you use AOL, so your mail goes through MS Outlook. That

program is very susceptible to the virus.

I don't think it has anything to do with how outspoken you are about

mold and corruption - it ran rampant through some other groups to

which I belong, and they dealt with Irish music.

I'm not the carrier, though - I don't have any addresses in my address

book!

The messages Klez sends out are signed by random entries it finds in the address book on the infected computer. Thus, Ken is *NOT* likely to have Klez, but that his name is in the address book of someone else who is infected. Here's an article on this aspect: http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,52174,00.html

Ken, you must have thison your machine and need to get rid of it. It has probably beensending out messages to everyone in your Outlook address book. This isone very good reason to get a different e-mail client. I use The Bat,which is not subject to these viruses and is also a wonderful program.
