Actually, you only appear to get it from people with whom you've never
communicated.  Klez forges the "From" line in the emails it distributes by
replacing the true sender information with a random selection from the
sender's email address book.

W32.Klez is a particularly interesting visus because it seems to attach
itself to anything and you get it from people who you've never dealt with. I
get 2-3 a day. Norton Antivirus catches and quarintines it . I then delete
the file from both my Inbox and Deleted folders. It doesn't seem to cause
any problems unless you open the attachment.
