AW: Off Topic Request

[cwiljes@bol.de]

The KLEZ worm collects email addresses from personal adress books and
resends itself with random adresses from its acquired eMail collection. This
means that any mail with a KLEZ-infected attachement probably was not sent
from the eMail account which is displayed. So your infected DCML-mails
probably were not sent by DCML. At some point in the past a computer of
someone who had the DCML in his address book was infected and at another
point of time another computer was infected which had your eMail adress in
its adress book.
 
This explains why most of the list members do not get any KLEZ-Mails: Even
if the KLEZ-Virus sends infected eMails to the list, these do not reach the
list because it will  post under a randomly chosen eMail address - which
most probably will not be a list member so the mail will be blocked and not
reach the list.
 
Confused? Bottom line is: Everyone with an internet connection needs a virus
scanner that automatically updates its virus patterns over the internet.
