I would also like to take a moment to inform you that this worm/virus
fakes the "from" line in your e-mail program. Before sending that
unbrotherly nastygram out you should check this:

Subject: [APO-L] [off-topic] Important Info Regarding W32.Klez Virus
Yes, I know this is somewhat off-topic here, but I just got hammered
with like a dozen or so messages that all contained the W32.Klez worm
that's currently making it's rounds on the internet. Apparently it's
pretty serious as Symantec has upgraded it to a category 4 virus on its
website (they've even got a very prominent warning about it right on the
front page here):
http://www.norton.com/
http://www.symantec.com/
So I normally don't like sending out virus warning messages like this,
since most of them are hoaxes anyway, but this one ain't a hoax, and
it's spreading like wildfire. So maybe now would be a good time to make
sure your copy of Norton Antivirus or Network Associates' VirusScan is
up-to-date.
Cheers!
