We all remember the warnings such as needles hidden in movie theater seats which were spreading HIV. If I give you a warning, it's a real one! A couple of years ago, shortly after I started here, the Klez worm was making the rounds. People on TER and TBD Boston were accusing each other of maliciously spreading the virus. A similar worm is now making the rounds. It spreads itself from an infected computer by accessing the victims address book. For instance, if the virus was on my computer, it would take two email addresses from my address book and send the virus to one of these addresses while addressing the email from the other victim. The person who you receive this email from may not actually have the virus on their computer. Before everyone starts blaming others, (if memory serves, MG took some unjustified heat when the Klez worm was out there I wanted to share the information page from Norton Antivirus (Symantec).
