You misunderstand me Byard. I am aware of how these things get shunted around and I know it is unlikely that the damn things come FROM VFB. However it is POSSIBLE that someone elsewhere got the Klez and as Allan says my name is in someones address book that has been infected. As you can see from the bottom end of the mail I listed a couple of names that the message is sent as. So I thought maybe it MIGHT help to alert someone who has not seen the things. I only subscribe to this and 2 other lists and have never opened emails that have attachments without knowing full well whats in them. Those I dont know go straight to hell ! I have a mac.
