From what I know, which is very little, I think I have
KLEZ in my email. I get about 6 emails returned, with
attachments, every hour and I have sent none of them.
What to do??? Many thanks.
 
Probably nothing necessary Judy.

KLEZ uses fake "From" addresses and some infected computer has probably just
picked yours....

So if the virus sends to an invalid email address the notification will come
back to you... not because you sent it but because the recipient's server
doesn't know any better.

Usually they return the original message as an attachment so do not open any
executable attachments you get back.

It "May" be someone you know who's been infected or it may not. KLEZ might
have found your email address almost anywhere on the victims PC... for
example an old newsgroup post like this one, so it's really quite hard to
make sense of who's got it and where it started.

Check your system with your regular Antivirus... if you don't have one get
the free one from www.grisoft.com and if you come up all clear don't worry
about it. Note ALL Antivirus products must be kept updated....
