Boy, I must be a real net.hermit since I've only gotten one copy of the Klex virus ever... I guess nobody has my email address.

I haven't gotten any. Of course, I rarely get e-mailed, and those that do e-mail me don't quite understand the concept of "Address Book". Or of "Operating System" and "Internet Browser" for that matter... :�

My klez experience is down to 2 per day now that I have convinced everyone I know to get clean. At the peak of my experience with klez in my circle of contacts, I got as many as 7 per day.

For about a week solid two weeks back I was bombarded by different Versions of Klez. I deleted them all.

Wow. This is the first time I've ever gotten Klez.

Well, I just got Klez'ed. Got back from my vacation and was checking my email. I never open attachments, but apparently one was rigged for Outlook Express to auto open something (or something like that...), so when I deleted one suspicious email the next one previewed and seemed to do something, though I couldn't tell what. I deleted it, but lo and behold the next morning I got 51 bounced emails from old addresses in my address book (along with a few bounces by systems telling me I was infected with W32.KLEZ or some such. I am on my nice clean (and currently isolated) laptop right now while I'm working on killing the little bugger on my two networked desktops. Teach me to not keep my machines updated with nice virus checker files.

I stopped using OE a long time ago. I think a lot of M$ software try to tell you what you should do instead of the other way around. Except for a certain network problem I'm happily using Pegasus Mail as my mail client.
