Digital BW, The Print

All,

For the last several days I have received 2 or 3 e-mail every evening containing a worm virus known as W32.Klez.H@mm. Each night it is from a different e-mail address. The e-mails are addressed to my two personal addresses and to me as list owner of this group. So I suspect that some group member or former group member's computer is infected with this worm virus.

(The virus is not coming in with messages from the list. Yahoo has antivirus software in place to block that.) 

You can read all about this virus at:

The damage it causes in rated as moderate but it is difficult to remove if your computer becomes infected. It is one of those worms that resides on your computer, searches for e-mail addresses and then does mass mailings to those addresses using randomly selected files from your computer for the text, itself as an automatically executing attachment, and a randomly selected e-mail address from your computer as the sender. At this point it is a nuisance as my Norton Anti-virus cannot do a repair but can only quarantine the file so I have to delete it manually.

So everyone please take this as a reminder to use antivirus software, keep it turned on and keep your virus definition files updated regularly. All of us who are very active on the Internet need to protect ourselves and our friends.

Thanks,
Martin Wesley
