This looks like a pain to do - but I THINK actually, I am not infected - here is
what I read at the
symantec 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, Linda Anderson is using a computer that is
infected with
W32.Klez.E@mm; Linda 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.
Someone on another list I am on had problems... possibly it was there computer
that was infected
and my name was in their address book. I only got one bounced message -
although I did
get a puzzling email from another Scrabble lister who wrote "who are you?" -
Though I
know him and my name is at the top of my email.
I guess I do have to explore the possibilites, though.
