This was in today's Rootsweb newsletter and need to be repeated because many of us are still getting these pesky infected emails. Some tend to blame the "from" person because they don't understand that the "from" person is phony and part of the Klez is to confuse the receiver about who sent the message. To find out, you can go into View and click on Page Source. The last "received" at the bottom, should give you a clue as to who really sent the message. If you are getting these emails and suspect they are coming from someone from the list, please email me about the problem. Do NOT sent it to the list. >From Rootsweb: KLEZ OFF! Viruses and worms are a constant and growing threat and they can destroy your valuable genealogical files. Assuming your computer is clean or that you will never get a virus is foolish. Viruses invade the computers of genealogists every day. The current and relentless attack of the Klez worm, which forges the "from address" continues to fool many RootsWeb users, but this worm is NOT coming from any of RootsWeb's mailing lists or from your editor. It is being sent to you privately by an infected computer (often without the owner's knowledge), using a stolen "From" e-mail address. Klez uses all sorts of subjects lines, many of them appearing to be genealogy-related, which Klez also filches. Before you accuse anyone of sending you the Klez worm, or bombard RootsWeb's Help Desk with accusations about this, learn how to read the full e-mail header codes. http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/listadmins/headersfull.html IS YOUR COMPUTER VIRUS-FREE?
