[Diy_efi] Bogus message from me

[Rich M]

Franc,
yeah I've had quite a few instances of the same thing - definitely not
originating from my machine, VERY irritating and potentially emabarrasing...
It's a feature of the Klez virus - attaches a return address which it
selects at random from the infected's address book, so it probably
originates from someone who has your email addy. (probably without them
knowing, as it doesn't need an email client eg. outlook etc. to send..)
Cheers
Rich

	Hi, Folks,

	It has come to my attention that some people have received a
message apparently from me entitled "Worm Klez.E immunity". This is
totally bogus, and furthermore almost certainly did not originate
from my machine or my account, so someone or something has hijacked my
details to use as cover. The most likely place to get such details I
would think is a mailing list, so here's a warning to all!

	I shall of course be investigating further, as no doubt will
my employer if necessary.

	Best Regards,
		Franc.
