Leaves I have just received Klez.E and WormKlenz twice from addresses that appear to belong to this list? The addresses are: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] The subject lines are: "A IE 6.0 Patch" (indicating an Internet Explorer 6.0 update, albeit unsolicited) "SENDING TO EVERYONE IN MY CONTACT LIST-Emailing aa050702a" and "Worm Klez.E immunity". The text on two of them is:
"Klez.E is the most common world-wide spreading worm.It's very dangerous by corrupting your files. Because of its very smart stealth and anti-anti-virus technic,most common AV software can't detect or clean it. We developed this free immunity tool to defeat the malicious virus. You only need to run this tool once,and then Klez will never come into your PC. NOTE: Because this tool acts as a fake Klez to fool the real worm,some AV monitor maybe cry when you run it. If so,Ignore the warning,and select 'continue'. If you have any question,please mail to me. " And the 'mail to me' will show the sender's address. This bogus information in the text. If you execute the attachment, you will activate Klez.E and then troubles really begin. The poor grammer should be a tip off and the logic is pretty suckey too. The text on the third one is: "Viruses are bad enough but virus hoaxes are even worse......If you haven't seen this yet, read it. It could save you time, money and keep you from kicking yourself around the block. Your files are attached and ready to send with this message." Again, it is bogus information the attachement is the vrius!! A trick to discover if your computer is infected is to create a New Contact in your Address Book. Give it the name !000 Virus and a bogus E-Mail address, i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED] This will not prevent a virus but when the virus attempts to send itself to the bogus address it will return as unsendable for various reasons. When you see anything like !000 Virus you know to take action. The exclamation mark with the three zeros will keep this alphabetized at the top of your address book. I hope this helps!
