| 55129 | 2002-06-19 00:35:00 | I check for e-mail everyday, and over the last couple of weeks, nortons is having to quarintine at least one a day due to the w32.Klez.H@mm virus. They seem to come from websites I have never heard of or visited, but now I have received one from an Xtramsn site that I have never been to or would want to go to. Nortons can't find a virus on my computer so how are these varied e-mails being infected? Any ideas? Thanx | Guest (0) | ||
| 55130 | 2002-06-19 01:56:00 | If my memory serves me correctly this virus will choose a random email address from the infected persons contacts and show that as the sender, making it difficult to know who is sending you the virus. | Guest (0) | ||
| 55131 | 2002-06-19 02:02:00 | Someone else with the Klez virus is causing messages to be sent with your email address in the from field. You will then get all returned mail from the many sites the mail has been sent to and has been rejected. If you look at the returned mail headers you can see the original address it was sent from. Checking Mail Headers in Outlook Express 1. Right-click on the e-mail 2. Left-click on Properties. 3. The box that pops up will have two tabs: General and Details. Select the Details tab. Look for the line that starts with 'X-From' or 'Return Path' |
