Since I am still getting between 4 to 10 virus messages per day, I
assume some of you are still being plagued so think it is good to repeat
this message from today's Rootsweb Review. Good info and links to
bookmark.
KLEZ IT, PLEASE. Educate yourself about viruses and worms because they
do not go away. They are a constant threat and could destroy your
valuable genealogical files. The current attack of the Klez worm, which
forges the "from address" is fooling many RootsWeb Review readers, but
this worm is NOT coming from RootsWeb's mailing
lists or your editor. It is being sent to you privately by an infected
computer (often without the owner's knowledge), with a stolen "From"
e-mail address. It uses all sorts of subjects lines, which Klez also
filches. Before you accuse someone of sending you the Klez worm, be sure
you know how to read the e-mail header codes.

clean. For a free online virus scan:
