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.
