Klez was a low risk virus just ten days ago, a medium-high risk three days
ago (last time I checked) by McAfee.  I have managed to keep it at bay on
my machine, but have received no less than 35 copies of it in the last ten
days ago.  Beware, as it can get trigged without an attachment...

I should point out that it can fake the "from" field...  So it may
apparently come from someone else than actually sent it...

Practice safe computing folks...  better use a good "cyber condom", eh?
