Lois Melina contacted me and told me First Step had identified me as the
sender of a virus to her. the virus is the w32.klex.e worm. After spending
a couple of hours checking and rechecking, I determined that I am clean.
However, my research showed me that this nasty little worm can pick an
address at random from an infected machine and send e-mails with the random
address listed as from. IE:Someone's infected machine could send you an
email and say it was from me, if it could find my email address anywhere on
the infected machine.
I send this out as a warning, someone out there is infected, and you could
be getting it from anyone.
