LOL on the "random choice" the virus did.  I wonder how much of it was random if it could told to grab something with key words just to make peoples' lives even more merisable (sp?).  Fitting punishment for the person that made this virus, put into a room with a box full of pieces, smash pieces of a 3-D puzzle, starts working it together and then comes to the horrible discovery it was his computer.  Causing a mental and emotional is only fitting due to the fact that is what they are causing to us.  <Grins evilly> Aurore

      Yeah I know.  I got some nasty grams back from some people about sending
  them a virus - however, I use Entourage X under Mac OS X 10.1.4, and Klez
  can't affect my machine.  (I also use Norton AntiVirus as a safety measure)

      We had a major oops with Klez at my work.   Someone here at work's home
  PC was infected, and sent copies to our all-lab email address.  Since the
  lab I maintain is 95% Mac, not a problem.   However, Klez also grabs a
  random document from the infected drive and sends it along as well.   In
  this case, the document was an MS Word file with a rather long, steamy, and
  detailed S&M fantasy the co-worker had written about her s/o.   I managed to
  keep it from 2/3rds of the machines, but only by shutting down and removing
  that email from the server before the other machines could download their
  email.
