I believe there is a virus spreading around the Internet at this time; it bears many different headers--anything from references to a "tutorial" to a "Spice Girls concert". As they are coming from different systems, the average size ranges from 129 to 138 KB, and the size of these attachments has been causing me problems with my account size. Over the past few days, the virus has become more and more prolific. It even appears to have mailed itself out from a few friends' guestbooks, including Danzka (if you see this, don't worry--I KNOW it's not your fault!).

At this point it appears there is no patch, as I found five in my mailbox today (the largest amount to date).

Does anyone have any information about this virus?

I don't think that is what she meant by Wrighthooker.

Oh, I knew there was something else involved...kind of a GeeDubbish idea!

But you must admit it does sound a bit like a boxing move, too!

This is beginning to get annoying.

I posted this topic over a month ago, and I continue to receive this garbage in my inbox almost daily.

I think there should be a notice to Pink Floyd fans--and I can tell it's PF fans who are on this person's or persons' address book (names like "opel" make it very clear)--to clean the viruses off their computers. I would advise everyone here to scan their computer for viruses. Their virus scanners will need to be updated enough to pick up the KLEZ worm and its variants, because that appears to be the virus in question.
