The Klez/Elkern email worm is currently the most wide spread email worm (virus) on the internet. This email worm sends itself to random email addresses in your addressbook, using another email address from your addressbook as sender. Right now, I receive between 50-100 emails per day containing this worm. Since I'm not using Outlook Express and never open an attachement to an email, the worm has fortunately never been able to infect my computer. Sine I receive the worm only on an email address used for the forum, I can be 100% sure the emails originate from forum members. Please do yourself a favor, and go here. This is a free online virus scanner. Be aware that this scan can take a long time to complete so you might want to run it overnight.

For info really, I'm going to run that overnight (if necessary, as per the site you recommended): I assume that I don't have this virus, as I do not have your E-Mail address in any of my address books (I write you manually as I have need). I, also, do not use Outlook, so many of these viruses do not get past the outer layer (I'm certainly not invulnerable to attack, just not that way).

I get about 1-2 a week with the virus. Not all from forum addresses. My computer is virus free. (checked every Friday between 10pm and 11pm) Had a relative get it and open it. It does some real nasty things to your computer.
I use F-Prot Software so even though I use Outlook, I am still protected from the virus. (Outlook doesn't automatically open attachments anymore)

My virus software updates almost every day, and I have it do a complete scan every 12 hours. While I'm at work, and while I'm asleep. I also have it do realtime scans, so even if a website has virus code, it will catch it b4 it gets anywhere.

LOL, that is the same Virus Scan page I use. I run the scan about once a week as I do alot of Power Dowloading from Kazaa. SO far so good, I recive that virus about 6 times a day, and my Outlook 2002 strips it every time. (Cant recive any .exe files in Outlook 2002)
