Unfortunately, Klez32 simply uses the Outlook address book in a random fashion
with random headers and messages. Tough to identify the culprit, but EVERYONE
should have an up to date virus checker. Any older than a week or two, is an
old
one.
www.grisoft.com offers a free one to the US and UK which is outstanding. Go for
it. It gives updates as they identify new virus/worms, all free of charge.
