You can open this attachment. It has the information about this virus that infected my computer/address book and may have sent email to you to do the same to your computer. Please update your antivirus program and scan your computer for this virus.

Many of you have probably received Klez virus messages with attachments. Hopefully you all have good anti-virus (AV) programs and that you also keep them up-to-date (if your version doesn't update you automatically) I have received so many, I've lost count. They mostly arrive at my website contact addresses, rather than this one I'm writing from. This is a very sneaky virus, and spoofs addresses, sometimes by using the address book of infected computers. I have been sent viruses, which _appear_ to have been sent from MY address, so as well as having current and updated anti-virus programs, continue to be wary, as the visus might arrive from a familiar address. The virus files have these extensions: ".mp8" or ".txt" or ".htm" or ".html" or ".wab" or ".asp" or ".doc" or ".rtf" or ".xls" or ".jpg" or ".cpp" or ".pas" or ".mpg" or ".mpeg" or ".bak" or ".mp3" or ".pdf" .... which is just about every familiar file extension we use on a regular basis ... like I said, VERY sneaky. Have a look at what Norton says about this virus:- http://securityresponse.symantec.com/ http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.klez.h@mm.html I also suggest you take the time to familiarize yourself with the *subject lines* you might expect to see, arriving with this virus. (it's a long list) If you are unsure of your current security, then Norton also has a *free* assessment tool to check your computer (I'm sure other AV programs offer this service too) -------------------------------------------------------------- http://security1.norton.com/ssc/home.asp?j=1&langid=us&venid=sym&plfid=20&pk j=POQGESLHFEPGEVVSDUX ---------two line URL cut/paste into browser no spaces--------- Be safe!

You have not rid yourself (your computer) of the virus. My virus scan just caught it before it infected my computer. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cyndi Henry" <hencyn@cfl.rr.com> To: <GRIFFITH-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, April 28, 2002 12:37 PM Subject: [GRIFFITH] Fw: [TSL] ADMIN Klez worm/virus > You can open this attachment.
