heres a possible explanation for the virus in question given on the diabloii.net website. i would also recommend www.sarc.com for more info on this one. and a personal recommendation, use Eudora Light or a comparable email client to avoid all these auto executing microsoft specific virus. email was meant to be text anyway. lysergic EMail Virus Issues - Flux [12:08:PST] Not D2, but lately we are getting a tremendous amount (dozens a day) of email viruses to all@diabloii.net addresses. The most common one is W32.Klez.E@mm and note how it works; by redistributing itself by changing your outgoing mail name to a sender of a mail in your inbox. So hundreds of people are getting emails that appear to be from flux, gaile, or elly here, but aren't from us, they are the virus on someone else's machine, picking our names from a reply mail in that person's inbox. I got 4 virus mails this morning with myself as the return address! You need to look at the "Return Path" in the email header, to see where a mail really comes from, since it's child's play (or virus' play) to spoof someone else's name in the "Reply To" line. As with virtually every virus but measels, this one spreads wildly through security holes in Outlook Express. If you are using MSOE for your mail client and you haven't patched the latest security problems with it, you are guaranteed to be a virus victim, sooner or later. ********** Experimental Ambient Bliss! ********** The Lysergic Dream - Cult of the Dying Streetlamp The new album out NOW!!! on Uncle Buzz Records Sound Samples at http://www.zombieproject.com/lysergic
