Sorry friends, the local dealership emailed me today and sent me a virus, I just spent an hour with their computer guy fixing the problem, mind you he was on overtime and is a bad storm starting here...I really apologise for this, it was "WORM_KLEZ.H" and they had got it today as well and someone on another computer opened it before they deleted it and then when they did some email testing, it hit my email address...sounds hard to believe I know, but I got email from them "Poulin Auto Country" and it said test in its email...of coarse my being a Poulin as well it hit my "poulin@metrocast" somehow.My computer imediately went crazy automatically sending and recieving emails, I was getting emails for some of you from others of you listed somehow, well its stopped sending emails now and is suposed to be all better.Please delete any attatched emails you might of gotten today from me, it would of been around 5pm eastern time.

I've been lucky so far. I recognize that virus in my email daily and delete it. It commonly comes from an email address I recognize as an SSOA member, so I know they must have received the virus recently. I keep an empty address book and run an updated virus checker. I also don't use a preview pane in my email and don't open attachments that I'm not expecting. Good luck to you in getting completely rid of it without further complication.

Yes he helped me do a complete virus scan and it was only the one temp file and deleted it, retried and nothing so far...I no longer use the preview pane either, he told me about what to watch for, I never had a problem in the past, I been online since 99 and this was first problem, I dont open or download anything I dont know/trust as a rule, but I just previewed that email being from dealer nearby and my selling GM aparel, they have a shop that sells that as well.

I see, it was you, eh? I am thankful I keep myself protected. Norton Anti Virus caught it.
