Al,
This KLEZ worm is a sneaky devil. Once it infects a computer, it goes
through the address book and sends out infected e-mail making it look as
though it came from someone else. Someone got the virus, and had John's old
jijones@ix.netcom.com address stored in their address book. The virus
latched onto that address, making it look like John sent the virus, which was
NOT the case.
Although not 100% fail proof, the best prevention is to not open any
suspicious looking e-mail that has an attachment.
