W32.Klez.D@mm is a modified variant of W32.Klez.A@mm. Most of the functionality remains the same. The virus that W32.Klez.A@mm carried, W32.Elkern.3326, is also carried and inserted on the system by this variant. The worm exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express in an attempt to execute itself when you open or even preview the message. Further information and a patch for the vulnerability can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS01-020.asp It is a flaw in MIME header handling unique to IE. It doesn't affect Netscape or Mozilla. Gaz should check his facts before flaming someone in his "froup".
