Received an email from [email protected] with the subjsct title Pokemon Here!

One of 2 attachments "adbumpleft" had the virus Virus W32.Klez.H@mm

I suggest that you do not download any attachments from this email address without scanning them with a virus checker first.

The Klez virus is not sent out by the sender listed. Instead, the person whose computer is infected picks two e-mail addresses, lists one of them as the sender, and the other as recipient. It also uses a random subject.

Please see http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/[email protected] for more information.

You also state not downloading attachments from that address without scanning. You should ALWAYS do that anyway, even if it's from somebody you know.

I always scan as a matter of course too, but not everyone does so I thought I would state the obvious for those for whom it isn't obvious.

As an aside what is happening with the WizPog boards can't post or view most of what is here and the rest have dissappeared??
