To all Members of this Message Board ...

... should you receive an e_mail purporting to originate from this address:

"pacman2@bright.net" warning about the KLEZ e-Mail Virus, kindly delete the message immediately.

DO NOT attempt to open the "attachment", nor select the suggested option "Continue".

The worm has struck again, and is reading Outlook Express "Address Books" resident on user's computers and propigating itself in this manner.

I strongly suggest that all Member's here, abandon their use of Outlook (Express), or any Microsoft authored e-Mail/Newsgroup reader, in favour of a W3.ORG standards compliant client. Eurdora, Lotus Notes/Mail/cc:Mail/Domino, QuickMail, Netscape, and others all are compliant, none of which will allow the opening of attachments without your intervention, and their having to be saved to the hard-disk of your computer first.

Warren C. E. Austin
