Hi list, I see that I apparently sent email to this list last night? Does anyone know how this happened, I know nothing of virus's and i don't use outlook express, is there something I can do to stop this?

it isn't necessarily you, who sends this, as the Klez virus forges false sender adresses from adressbook entries. So you can't do much about it then, only maybe trying to find out, who's the infected real sender.
Maybe the listadmin could install a size limit for list E-Mails? These Klez messages are always bigger than 120K

Apparently if your name and email addy are in an Outlook address book the virus will harvest the info for propagating itself. Lots of information regarding this virus (Klez.E is the name, I think) is available on the Web.
Not to worry, Microsoft is taking care of everything. Trust them. ;)

Since there seemed to be some viri on this list:
i thought i had done everything to protect the list (well, our mailserver). obviously this was not enough. i have installed a new version of our virus-scanner and hope, that this list will stay virus-free for some months now....

honestly, why do people insist on continuing to use outlook when these virus outbreaks happen once every other month? ever since Mellisa came around while i was working IT and i had to clean up the mess, i swore off any email client that didn't have security as part of its "outlook". people who have to use it at work, then its the it managers who need their head examined, but i'm really curious how many times this is going to happen before people start to learn. sorry to vent, but if i had to buy a harddrive for every outlook virus i've received i would still need to buy another harddrive to store them all in.

FYI:
I use outlook. I also use Windows XP and I've made a point of keeping Norton Antivirus 2002 as up-to-date as possible. There are some times that Norton releases two or three new virus definitions daily (and "LiveUpdate" grabs them automatically as soon as they're released) and the Microsoft Update web site has released security patches regularly.
Works for me!
