Re: [Nolug] the spammers seem to have gotten me

My bad, I meant to say the Klez. Well you don't have be using Microsoft
products to be affected. The worm grabs your email address for it's own
use, usually through an infeted client that has reference to your email
address along with many others. So usually, you'll get an email from a mail
server that catches it stating that it found a virus in one of your emails,
when in fact it was the Klez worm running on another machine spoofing your
address along with many others on any open relay it can get ahold of.
Pretty nasty.
